Swansea fullback Rangel slams 'attention seeking' ref Foy

Swansea City defender Angel Rangel has launched an attack on ref Chris Foy.

Swansea are furious over Foy's decision to send off Lukasz Fabianski during Sunday's defeat at West Ham United.

"I don't agree with the sending off. We know with the history of this referee that he likes giving red cards and that is not good," said Rangel.

"It could have been a red card, but the ball was going wide. 'Fabs' came out and probably fouled him, but there was not 100 per cent contact. There was slight contact, sure it was a foul, but the ball is going wide.

"If the referee gives a yellow I don't think there is any trouble there. Again he was quick enough to show the red card and he got his attention."
