Davis unhappy at decisions

Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis was left bemoaning a couple of controversial penalty decisions as Bournemouth eventually ran out 3-1 winners at Dean Court.

Those awards allowed Cherries striker Brett Pitman to gratefully help himself to a hat-trick, despite a consolation effort from Alex substitute Ryan Colclough – his first senior goal for the visitors.

“I have to say that it was two bizarre decisions from the referee that has cost us today,” Davis told Crewe’s official website. “I don’t know if the early one has affected him because nobody could believe he has given the first penalty.

“The second penalty was another outrageous one, their lad has run into our player and gone down,” he added. “I don’t know why it was given at all and it is very disappointing. The decisions have changed the game this afternoon.”
