The Swansea City defender was referring to the decision not to award Nottingham Forest a penalty during the second half of the semi final on Thursday night – a decision that left the tie nicely poised for a Monday night classic at the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n
Tate told the Evening Post "It hit my elbow, but it was down by my side so I don't know. <\/p>\n
"We got away with that one but we were due a bit of luck here.<\/p>\n
"After 50-odd seconds, though, we probably didn't think we were going to get it.<\/p>\n
"We could have sulked and moaned that we had gone down to ten men but we didn't," he said.<\/p>\n
"It was a shock to start with but then we dug in and said we weren't going to get beat.<\/p>\n
"You look for everyone when it goes down to ten men.<\/p>\n
"Scott (Sinclair) is not known for his defensive work but I got hold of him and kept him back and he did a great job for the team.<\/p>\n
"Nathan (Dyer) does a huge job for the team, probably better than any winger I've ever seen, while Fabio (Borini) set the tone up front.<\/p>\n
"When you see the way the lads worked for each other and the work we had to do, it was probably the proudest that I've been out there.<\/p>\n
"It was a good effort from us but we are nowhere near done.<\/p>\n
"We've learned from last time we were in the play-offs. Brentford came to our place (in 2006), got a draw and thought they had won the tie, but we beat them up there.<\/p>\n
"So there has been no celebrating or anything like that.<\/p>\n
"It's a pat on the back for Thursday night but now we move on to Monday.<\/p>\n
"Forest are a very good team and the pressure is on us now to go and beat them at home."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
