# Wolves: Fans slam Stuart Attwell over potential penalty

**Lots of Wolves fans have been slamming Stuart Attwell after a decision did not go their way at home against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.**

As per [Tim Spiers](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1429431626900070404), Bruno Lage’s side had a ‘massive’ shout for a potential penalty in the first half as Nelson Semedo looked to have been ‘barged’ onto the floor by Oliver Skipp after some ‘superb’ play by Adama Traore in the build-up.

Given that Spurs had taken the lead earlier on in the half through a [penalty of their own](https://www.skysports.com/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-vs-tottenham-hotspur/446307), converted by Dele Alli, Attwell’s decision at the other end stung many of the Molineux faithful, with the home side going into half-time a goal down.

Of course, the decision was debatable, but if Lage’s side had got it in their favour, they would have had a great chance to bring the score level and so the half-time team talk may have been a little different.
