Roberto Martinez didn’t like the penalty call on John Stones after the English back hacked down Marko Arnautovic late in Stoke City’s 4-3 win over Everton on Monday at Goodison Park.
Stones went to ground and may’ve got a stud on the ball, but cleared out Arnautovic.

It looked like the Stoke man had clearly beaten Stones, and the back needed to get a clear piece of the ball after such a dramatic challenge.
His boss didn’t think so. From the BBC:
“You have to be very sure sure to make a decision like that. Looking at the replay it shows John Stones touches the ball. That decision is hard to take. To get a decision wrong like that so late in the game makes you feel furious and is unacceptable.”
Looked close to stone cold from our angle. What did you think?
