Neven Subotic furious with penalty decision

Subotic furious with penalty decision

Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has expressed his anger at the handball decision that was awarded against him during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League.

Mario Balotelli rescued a point for City from the penalty spot at the Etihad Stadium after the Serbian was harshly adjudged to have handled Sergio Aguero's shot.

When asked if it was a spot kick, Subotic told Sky Sports News: "Never. Not a chance.

"He shoots from half a yard and I just have my hand. I've just seen the pictures, but obviously I have a hand, I can't cut it off and he hits it.

"I think it's clear to see in the pictures that I wasn't trying to get to the ball because I didn't have time to react. Therefore, it was never in my life a penalty."

The draw has left second-placed Dortmund two points behind leaders Real Madrid in Group C.
