Roma fullback Maicon: It was never a penalty

AS Roma defender Douglas Maicon was left fuming over the manner of defeat at Juventus.

Carlos Tevez converted two controversial penalties in the five goal thriller, including one for a handling offence by Maicon.

"The first sensation was that it wasn't a penalty, as my arm was across my body, so whether it was in or out of the box shouldn't have mattered," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"We had such a good game, it's a real shame about these incidents. The referee? We all go on to the field hoping to do our best and we all know that doesn't always happen. It's a tough job."
