Leicester City boss Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester:
“I’m incredibly disappointed. If you see the balance of chances, if you look at the stats, I think we have dominated the big moments in the game.
“We get the penalty, and in my opinion I’m absolutely baffled as to why it is not a yellow card at the very least. Abdul [Fatawu] cuts inside, is in a goalscoring position.
“It was a challenge that warranted a yellow, which would have been a second yellow and red.
“We then miss the penalty and it’s a bit of a double whammy; it’s a big moment in the game. We obviously have to take care of our own part of it, which is scoring the penalty, but we saw one against Bristol City where Jak [Foxes goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk] saved it, so it happens. It’s just unfortunate that it happened when we desperately need goals.
“I don’t think it was a 0-0 game, and I thought the performance, to come here and have more possession than Watford and create bigger chances than Watford, a team that is chasing the play-offs, again shows our capability. But we are sat here with one from the game so feels a little disheartening.”
