"It was a definite penalty. That was Harry Kewell at his best and in full flow. It's not my fault the fellow pulled him down . . . their player makes a rash tackle and thank you very much, we've won the game and well done to Ian Harte for putting the ball in the back of the net."

"He (Carbonari) did not touch him. The referee did at least take his time in considering his decision and he possibly thought there was contact. But looking at it on the video there was no contact. We feel hard done by. But it's fair to say Leeds are a very good side and they played well."
