Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was left furious after his side were denied what he felt was a legitimate goal against Cardiff City on Tuesday night . Striker Callum Wilson stood with his back to goal as opposition goalkeeper Simon Moore attempted to take a goal kick during his side 's clash with Cardiff City , only for Moore 's clearance to hit the forward . The ball cannoned off the back of the number 13 before hitting the bar , and Wilson , who was signed by Howe from League One outfit Coventry City , then tapped the ball into the empty net . Callum Wilson is standing still outside of the box with his back to goal when the goalkeeper kicks the ball . Wilson and the fans celebrated , but referee Lee Mason was quick to disallow the goal and booked the 23-year-old Bournemouth top scorer , much to Howe 's frustration . ' I 've got to be very careful with what I say , we 've been in a bit of trouble recently with officials , ' Howe told BBC Radio Solent . Howe continued : 'Callum ( Wilson ) did that all night . He did n't move , did n't follow the keeper , he held his ground and by the laws of the game that is perfectly acceptable . It 's a goal that should have stood . ' Bournemouth striker Wilson just can not believe his goal has been disallowed by referee Lee Mason . 'You 'll have to ask the referee why the goal was not allowed , I do n't think he had a particularly good game and that 's an understatement . 'Callum was looking the other way , he stood his ground which is allowed and the goalkeeper has kicked it at his back . 'That 's a real strange decision and ultimately it 's cost us two points . '
