The Sunderland boss was furious that Chelsea had been given a soft penalty and with Walton's handling of a foul on John Terry which led to Liam Miller's sending off.

He said: "The penalty killed the game for us. We were having a decent spell and when you're 1-0 down you always have a chance, especially given how many late goals we've scored this season.

"I didn't see the penalty properly but when you come to a place like Chelsea there's every chance the referee is going to lean towards the home side.

"For the red card, there's no doubt that when you raise your hands you don't give the referee any choice.

"But it could have been avoided. Clearly you're not allowed to tackle the England captain because there was a big issue made of it by Terry.

Chelsea's John Terry (L) and team-mate Ashley Cole (2nd R) look on as Sunderland's Liam Miller (2nd L) is sent off by referee Peter Walton

"John and Claudio Pizarro had a go at Liam. Obviously it was a foul but that was it, there was no nastiness to it.

"Now he'll miss the next three games. Maybe the referee could have stepped in five second earlier.

"But John and Pizarro's reaction disappointed me."
