Reading's Hunt rues missed penalty call in Arsenal comeback

Reading striker Noel Hunt was left to rue what was an absolutely phenomenal night at the Madejski Stadium last night.

The Royals led Arsenal 4-0 after 37 minutes and Hunt could have had a penalty to make it 5-0 before the Gunners produced a remarkable comeback to win 7-5 in the Capital One Cup.

Hunt admitted he can't work out how his side lost but did feel slightly hard done by at not being awarded what he thought was a stonewall penalty.

"Still licking my wounds from last night hard 2 swallow that game!!It's in the past & we can only control the now and get better 4 the future!," he posted on Twitter.

"Just watched the game back how I didn't get a peno in the second half is beyond me!!!!"
