Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou is disappointed with the penalty decision that allowed Lawrence Shankland to put Hearts in front in their 3-1 defeat at Tynecastle.
He compared it with an incident last week involving his own forward, Tawanda Maswanhise.
"We keep getting strange calls and decisions against us," he tells BBC Scotland. "I think it's a shame when it gets decided on a moment like that.
"I think the incident last week with Maswanihse would give a penalty an endless amount of more times in a normal world than the incident today."
Askou conceded that his Motherwell side fell short in making the best of their chances at Tynecastle.
"The game began lively, a little tactical and Hearts sitting off goalkeeper Calum [Ward] and giving him time on the ball," he said.
"It took us 10-15 minutes to decide how we dealt with that and from there I thought we got more and more control of the game.
"They had their moments, especially on set plays, but in second half we started bright and we took control and created moments when we had to.
"I thought we were on top and the better team and then we didn't take the moments we had.
"That's obviously what separates the best from the second best over a season."
