Hislop: Justice was done

The former Reading, Newcastle and West Ham shot-stopper saved Owen's tentative spot-kick after Matthew Taylor was wrongly deemed to have fouled the fit-again Milan Baros in the penalty area.

"We felt we got our just rewards in the end," admitted Hislop. "I guess if you are going to guess right once it should be on your birthday, and I did that. I felt once we got them back here we had a chance.

"It was a great tackle by Taylor, and he was a bit unfortunate to concede a penalty. But I saved it."

"Now we face Arsenal and we are confident. This is a real old-fashioned ground, with very passionate supporters who came in droves today. That gave us an advantage. Arsenal will be a test for us, but we are up for it.".
