West Brom boss Roy Hodgson questions the penalty decision which opened the scoring in his side's defeat to Liverpool.

West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson has questioned the penalty decision which opened the scoring in his side's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Luis Suarez was brought down by Jerome Thomas in the area before Charlie Adam fired the Merseyside club in front at the Hawthorns.

Andy Carroll's second league goal of the season just before the break sealed the win for the Reds.

"I think the 25,000 people watching, even the Liverpool supporters, will probably agree with me that it looked like a very, very harsh decision and there was certainly no intention to foul the player or give away a penalty," said Hodgson.

"I don't think we played well enough in the first half to cause them problems and we were better in the second half, but by that stage we conceded on the counterattack in the 46th minute so probably the crucial mistake in that game was that one."

The defeat has left the Baggies in 13th place in the Premier League table.
