Noel Hunt hits out at match officials for 'disgraceful' decisions

Reading striker Noel Hunt has criticised the weekend's match officials for making 'disgraceful' decisions during the Royals' defeat to Aston Villa.

The former Championship outfit succumbed to a 2-1 loss at the Madejski Stadium following a goal that was ruled offside and a penalty claim from Hunt in the first half.

"I've seen the offside and I've seen the penalty on me in the first half and it's a disgrace," Hunt told the Reading Post. "It's a joke that he has not given it, I don't know what he is looking at, but these decisions are embarrassing. It makes the game a different game."

Reading are in danger of dropping out of the top flight as they currently sit second-from-bottom in the table.
