Swansea boss Laudrup takes blame for penalty meltdown: I forgot to name taker!

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup admits he forgot to designate a penalty taker before their Capital One Cup final victory over Bradford City.

The only sour note for Swansea was the penalty row between Nathan Dyer and Jonathan de Guzman after the latter had been brought down by Bradford keeper Matt Duke inside the box.

"There was no designated penalty taker. I forgot," he said.

"This was our 36th game of the season and it was our first penalty so it is my fault because I didn't say who was going to take it if we got one.

"I thought we would go through the whole season without getting one."
