Carragher admits penalty call was wrong

Jamie Carragher has admitted that Liverpool were fortunate to be awarded a penalty at the Stadium of Light as Kenny Dalglish's beat Sunderland 2-0.

The referee controversially reversed his decision of a free-kick to a penalty after talking with his linesman when Black Cats defender John Mensah fouled Jay Spearing. Dirk Kuyt scored the contentious spot-kick.

Carragher told Sky Sports: "I thought it was a penalty but then I found out at half-time, I don't think it was, was it? It was just outside. That's gone for us there, so we have to take that today."
