Yeovil 1 Swansea 0

Swansea manager Kenny Jackett was left moaning after Yeovil’s controversial late penalty winner.

But the Swans boss has no complaints about defender Garry Monk’s sending off after giving away the crucial spot kick.

Former Cardiff boy Gavin Williams had climbed off the bench to rub salt in Swansea’s wounds. It was his pass which led to Monk tripping Phil Jevons in the box and getting the red card from referee Jarnail Singh.

Williams then smashed home the spot kick five minutes from the end which enabled Yeovil to leap over the Swans into fourth place in the table.

But Jackett moaned "We have lost to an awful refereeing decision. My first impression on the penalty was that I thought their centre forward was offside.

"But once Garry had gone for the tackle he had to go."

Jackett added: "It’s disappointing because we dominated for long terms in the first half and had chances to score.

"I knew their keeper Chris Weale was a good shot stopper and so it turned out to be.

"I was encouraged by what I had seen in the first half but Yeovil got stronger in the second with their half time substitutes and nicked it."

Early on a great Kris O’Leary tackle allowed Andy Robinson to try his luck from 25 yards which Weale tipped over.

Then Roberto Martinez put in Izzy Iriekpen for another long range effort which Weale again dealt with superbly.

Lee Trundle should have put the Swans ahead on 28 minutes but drove wide of an open goal.

After the break Trundle again went close with a superb curling effort which once more Weale was equal to.

Then Swans keeper Willy Gueret brilliantly fisted a Roy O’Brien shot on to the bar. Sub Kevin Nugent on for Brad Maylett, could have sneaked it for Swansea but again Weale saved before the decisive spot kick drama.
