Mowbray criticizes referee after Blackburn equalizer disallowed against Stoke

Summary

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray expressed frustration after a late equalizer from Andri Gudjohnsen was disallowed in their home match against Stoke City on November 4. Gudjohnsen scored a header in the 87th minute, but referee Andrew Kitchen ruled it out due to contact with Stoke defender Ben Wilmot. Mowbray criticized the officiating, calling the decision 'hugely wrong' and highlighting inconsistencies in previous matches. Blackburn had previously lost the game with a score of 2-1, ending their three-game winning streak at home as they conceded two goals, one of which was an own goal.
