The Swans were trying to get themselves back into the game when Rangel went down under challenge in the penalty area but as the claims went up for a penalty, the Swans defender was shown a yellow card for simulation with very little argument.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the incident after the game the long serving defender admitted that the referee got the decision spot on as he explained \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At the end of the day, I did dive and if it is a dive, it is a yellow card, so that is clear.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He did touch me, but I thought it was a soft penalty.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153And if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give the penalty it has to be a yellow card so I took it well and I said \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwell done.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He did put his foot in and he touched my left foot but it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough contact for me to go down.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was losing my balance and I thought \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcit is not like really cheating\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 but I was falling already, so I just tried to claim it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Rangel was at the centre of a diving row last season at Stoke when it was claimed that Victor Moses dived under his challenge to earn the home side a penalty which bought them back into a game that they eventually won.<\/p>\n
At the time, then Swans boss Garry Monk said that he would not tolerate incidents like that from his players but even though he has departed it makes a refreshing change to read the honesty of Rangel in situations like that.<\/p>\n
