Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira is furious with defender Craig Dawson after his side lost to West Ham United.

Pereira, who gave away a penalty in the game for a rugby tackle on the Hammers defender, believed that Dawson exaggerated the contact.

The two had been warned about their tussle earlier in the game by the referee Chris Kavanaugh.

“He [referee] told me not to pull, not to have contact with [the opponent's] shirt," Pereira told Yahoo Esporte.

“And I said I was just getting in front of him, blocking, I wasn't doing anything too much.

“The first time, he ran me over, and I didn't say anything, I didn't complain.

“In the second, and in the third, he sought contact and he [the referee] decided to give the penalty.

“If a guy is 90kg, I'm 70kg, he'll run over me and fall to the ground like a girl… It's hard to talk."
