Hoilett, who came close to winning the game late on when he forced a smart save out of Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, reckons he should have had a penalty when he was caught by Seamus Coleman inside the Everton box as the game entered the final 10 minutes. "I managed to steal the ball and get in front of Coleman. I got caught and that's why I went to ground," he said. "Everyone in the dressing room afterwards was convinced it was a stonewall penalty, so it's difficult to take."
