Lampard feels hair pull should have led to Coventry penalty

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has expressed dissatisfaction over three decisions that went against his team in their 3-1 loss to Everton. Lampard questioned why his side was not awarded a penalty after several unfavorable decisions. Yann Gboho scored for Coventry, but the visitors believed they should have been awarded a penalty after Thierno Barry's double and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's late goal.

James Tarkowski appeared to pull Caleb Yirenkyi's hair while jumping for a ball, but referee Stuart Attwell did not deem it significant enough to award a penalty. Lampard, however, felt the rule was clear and that it should have been a foul. The source material also mentions two other contentious decisions that could have affected the outcome of the match.
