Eddie Howe felt Bournemouth deserved penalty in Newcastle loss

Eddie Howe felt Bournemouth should have been awarded a penalty in their 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
Howe felt a Fabricio Coloccini's challenge on Josh King should have been given as a foul in the box by referee Lee Mason.
But Bournemouth, who dominated but succumbed to an Ayoze Perez strike, slipped into the relegation zone.
"My initial reaction was yes I thought it was a penalty but I haven't seen it again, and I may be slightly biased on that," said Howe.
"I had a feeling that he put his arm round his throat and King went down, so I thought it was."
Howe also rejected accusations of a bust-up with Glenn Murray, despite omitting the former Crystal Palace striker from the match squad.
"No not at all, not at all, I've not fallen out with anybody," said Howe when asked if he and Murray were not seeing eye to eye.
"Every player has to prove they deserve to be involved."
