We feel that in the end we did enough to win the game.It was hard for the referee. Every ground, not only here, are asking for handball and a foul. I feel for him a little, but it was not a penalty. Watch Aaron Cresswells strike which gave West Ham a 2-1 lead at Leicester The player [Schlupp] is touched and he goes down, it is not a penalty, but with the pressure and situation with them being top of the table and 30,000 people screaming for a penalty, it is hard for him.Leicester do have reason to question whether we should have been given a penalty, as they have been doing that all season, they play that kind of football. Most of the time they get away with that. West Ham striker Andy Carroll disputed the last-minute Leicester penalty that was given against him Despite the late setback, the result does see the Hammers keep pace in the race for the top four, and the nature of the performance in coming back from a goal down did please Bilic.We showed character and quality, even in the first half, Bilic added. They scored a goal on the counter attack, but we didnt lose shape and composure, and we were rewarded with the penalty. Leonardo Ulloa of Leicester City celebrates after his late equaliser We coped well in the second half with their counter attacks and we came back. After the equaliser we didnt stop. We were searching for a winner with full-backs up.Cresswell scored the goal from the position of a left winger. It is a big frustration for us. We deserved to win the game.
