Houllier frustrated with referee

"The referee got it wrong because Doherty stretched out his hand and stopped the ball going through for Owen to possibly equalise," said Houllier.

"I told the referee, without animosity, and he'll see it on television, but what is that going to change?"

"Deliberate hand ball in the box is a penalty. My players said that he did he deliberately, and that is where we could have got something out of the game."
