Bolton striker Kevin Davies has hit out at referee Mark Clattenburg and claims his goal was ruled out because of 'something personal'.
Davies looked to have scored the winning goal against Fulham on Saturday when he powered a header into the back of the net in the final minute of the game but Clattenburg ruled it out for a push on Brede Hangeland.
TV replays clearly show the goal should have been allowed to stand and now Davies claims that Clattenburg has a problem with him.
"It was a clear goal for me," said Davies. "Having watched it again, the referee said I put two hands in his back - but I can't see it. I think he [Hangeland] got under the ball and I just outjumped him.
"His reaction - he hit the floor and he knew it was a fair goal. When I saw who was the referee I didn't expect to get anything off him. Over the years I have never got much from him.
"There was a penalty at Old Trafford last season and he did nothing - but I got a booking. Numerous bookings over the years - I don't know, I have always felt there is something personal there.
"Every time he referees us, I don't expect to get anything. At least I didn't get a booking. That was the only good thing about it."
