Hunt defends Atwell

Hunt also said that he thought he made a mistake in sending of Nenad Miljias on Tuesday against Arsenal but insisted that referees are entitled to make errors.

“I like Stuart Attwell,” he said. “He is always respectful on the pitch, he is always talking and he is learning the game as well. He is an up-and-coming referee and he referees the best that he can. I will take it on the chin if he makes a mistake. I can make a mistake and so can he. Maybe Song’s tackle on me could have been a red so it is one of those things.”
