Rookie defender Elliot Omozusi's 19th birthday was ruined when he was adjudged to have fouled Alan Smith in the box and Joey Barton made no mistake from the spot to give Newcastle a rare away-day success.Sanchez said: "The penalty was symptomatic of our season. I keep saying it but I think it is true - we keep playing well right to the moment when we lose.
"With five minutes to go I was disappointed we were only going to get a point. And I was even more disappointed when we were cruelly beaten.
"That has been the story of our season to date, I'm afraid.
"There was contact, without doubt. The ball had been passed by the time it was made and when the shot went off and was saved he has dragged it back and given a penalty.
"I can't really argue with the penalty and I thought he (Omozusi) had been man of the match up until then.
"We have got Wigan next week and myself and the team have got to prove we are good enough. We are in the bottom three and fighting for our lives."
