Swansea City boss Garry Monk slammed Newcastle United's tactics after victory today.
Monk accused Newcastle of targeting Swans winger Jefferson Montero throughout the 2-0 win.
"You could see their tactics was basically try and kick him (Montero), and full credit to the referee for spotting it straight away," Swansea manager Monk said after the game.
"Quite rightly the player was sent off in the end.
"We talked before the game about Jeff being protected and that's important because it will be a tactic going forward."
Toon boss Newcastle Steve McClaren countered: "We haven't got a team capable of doing that and I don't think the game represents that now.
"Our team is a football team, not kickers, so I would dispute that."
