Graham Potter played down a penalty controversy at Carrow Road. Neal Maupay felt he was tripped by Canaries goalkeeper Tim Krul in a 0-0 draw. There appeared to be some contact on Maupay’s ankle as he tried to go around the keeper. But referee Peter Bankes did not award a spot kick. Video official Adrian Holmes did not advise he take another look.
Graham Potter said: “I’ve not looked at it really closely. It looked like there was a bit of contact. But obviously we are back into that realm of, if the referee on the pitch doesn’t give it does the VAR over-rule? I’ve not seen it closely enough. It is what it is. We had a good chance with Neal but they had some opportunities as well.”
Both teams had chances to break the deadlock and Albion had to defend strongly at times.
Graham Potter said: “I’m probably disappointed we didn’t play as well as we can. At the same time we weren’t bad. It was just a hard fought game. Two teams going at it, in the end probably a little bit too open for our liking. But the way the guys defended and stuck at it, desire to keep the ball out of the net, was top. It’s a hard-earned point at a tricky place where you can see they are fighting for points.
