Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has admitted his side were fortunate to pick up a point after referee Mark Clattenburg disallowed Kevin Davies’ late goal in the 0-0 draw with Bolton Wanderers.
The Trotters were denied a late winner after Brede Hangeland was adjudged to have been pushed in the back during the goalmouth scramble.
Hodgson believed Bolton manager Owen Coyle has every right to feel aggrieved.
"They had by far the better goal chances in the game but we have got a very good goalkeeper and a resilient, hard-working and determined team," he told BBC Sport.
"I congratulate the referee on the strength of his decision and having watched the video I think Brede was just about to head the ball when he felt the push.
"Of course I don't think you'd expect me to say anything other than it was a good decision and I don't think I'll be expecting Owen Coyle to say anything other than, 'We was robbed'.
"But I don't think in 2010 we have had an awful lot of luck with decisions and deflections and things like that."
