The Swansea City goalkeeper said that he thought the effort had crossed the line for a goal which would have given the home side the victory that they wanted.<\/p>\n
But Lee Mason ruled that there was no goal and the Swans earned a third consecutive draw in the league to maintain their 9th placed position in the league.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Western Mail, De Vries said \u201cI have to be honest, I thought it had crossed the line<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t seen it back and I certainly didn\u2019t know it for sure but my instinct at the time was that it did.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a messy one because I think it touched Angel Rangel, touched me, went through the legs of Ashley Williams and I think it crossed.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I certainly didn\u2019t know for sure because I was on the line before Ash got there and in a split second the ball was gone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows, but we can have a bit of luck in that respect when you look at some of the goals that have gone against us \u2013 even the penalty that Cardiff had last week. We deserved this clean sheet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s part of the job of making saves and of course it\u2019s nice to be back from quite a nasty injury,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was only my third game back since it happened but I feel I\u2019m getting more confidence with every game I play.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first one definitely came off Tatey with his first touch! It was a nasty one because those free-kicks are so hard to judge when they whip them in and all you can do is be ready to make a reaction save should anyone get a touch.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m looking forward to getting rid of the mask on Tuesday \u2013 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s lucky because I\u2019m not superstitious but I will keep it as a memento!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
