Lampard feels hair pull should have led to Coventry penalty

Coventry boss Frank Lampard questioned why his sides were not given a penalty after a trio of decisions went against them in defeat at Everton.

Thierno Barry's double and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's late goal helped the hosts come from behind to win 3-1 on Friday.

Yann Gboho gave Coventry the lead after the break, yet the visitors felt they should have had a first-half spot-kick.

James Tarkowski tugged Caleb Yirenkyi's hair while jumping for a ball, with referee Stuart Attwell dismissing the Sky Blues' claims.

The rules have been relaxed around hair pulling this season and it does not automatically mean a foul or a red card, with excessive force also being taken into consideration, but former Everton boss Lampard felt the officials got it wrong.
