Steve Kean spoke to referee Martin Atkinson after the final whistle: "I said to him, 'Please look at it again, please look at the decision and give us your honest opinion' because I don't think you will see a clearer foul.
"It was a good back-post header and Scott was backing off and just about to head it off the line, and we felt that Leon - I know him very well and he's aggressive - came over the top of Scott Dann.
"Scott was then pushed into Paul Robinson and it was not only a foul, but we also picked up a yellow card for Martin Olsson protesting against that goal.
"You can always tell by the reaction of the players, and not only our own players, but the Newcastle players. They all looked at the linesman and expected to see a flag go up, and it never came."
