The penalty drama didn’t stop there as moments later, the Swans were awarded a spot-kick up the other end for a handball. Cotterill was the one to convert for the Swans, pulling a goal back to halve the deficit.

In the aftermath, the visitors were reduced to 10 men. As a melee between Josh Thomas and Cardiff keeper Matthew Turner saw the striker dismissed.


'A melee'? Makes it sound like a 50:50 tussle and their player was dismissed for no obvious reason.

At best it was a push in the face; at worst a punch. Right in front of the (admittedly poor) referee. Clear red, no argument.
More than a little misleading!
