Hughton: 'Stoke penalty very soft'

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton believes that the penalty given against his side in the 1-1 draw against Stoke City was "very soft".

The Canaries went ahead through Bradley Johnson, but a spot kick was given to the Potters when John Guidetti was bundled over by Sebastien Bassong.

Jonathan Walters converted from 12 yards, but Hughton insists that the away side got lucky with the decision, although he admits that his players should have defended better.

"It was a very soft penalty where some would be given and some wouldn't be, but we shouldn't have allowed ourselves to be in that position," Hughton told BBC Sport.

Norwich are 15th in the league table.
