Alan Pardew has said that referee Lee Probert missed a number of fouls during Newcastle United's defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League today.

The Gunners' only goal came from a set piece after Cheick Tiote had fouled Santi Cazorla, but the Magpies' boss believes that the decision should have gone the other way.

Pardew told Sky Sports News: "In terms of the breaks of the decisions, I don't want to say the referee had a poor game, but sometimes he sees those calls and they go your way, sometimes they don't.

"There was definitely a foul before then on [Vurnon] Anita, without a shadow of a doubt, there was a foul on [Moussa] Sissoko that [Probert] didn't give.

"It's just frustrating, a little bit, that we have not got something on the scoreboard in terms of a point, no more than that. One set play where we didn't defend well has cost us and we have been good at them all year."

The result leaves Newcastle eighth in the table.
