Swansea boss Monk upset with Alcaraz's 'great save'

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was again having a pop at the ref after their 0-0 draw with Everton.

His latest frustration came during a stale Barclays Premier League contest at Goodison Park as his side, who were later reduced to 10 men, were denied a penalty after an unspotted handball by Toffees defender Antolin Alcarez.

Monk said: "I didn't know you were allowed to play with two goalkeepers.

"I thought it was a great save from Alcaraz, with very strong wrists. It is something I will be showing my goalkeepers in training to make sure they get down well with one arm.

"But it was only with one arm, so I'll let that one go. He actually saved the ball. It is not like it just struck his arm. We all saw it, all the players saw it, but the ref didn't see it.

"At this moment in time we are having a lot of wrong decisions in a short period, and it is affecting us. We have to get through this period where the odd 50-50s go against us, rather than for us."
