Swansea boss Monk admits Shelvey deserved his red

Swansea City boss Garry Monk had no complaints with Jonjo Shelvey's red card in their 0-0 draw at an Everton.

Monk accepted the 72nd-minute dismissal of Shelvey - apart from with the player himself - which left his side needing to cling on for a point.

Shelvey barged into James McCarthy for an obvious second bookable offence after receiving a first yellow card for a petulant act.

Monk said: "The first, you can't kick the ball away. That is the one I am disappointed with Jonjo with. It is something he needs to learn from very quickly.

"Once we are on a yellow, at this moment in time, the way things are for us, it becomes highly likely we will end up with a red. Any sort of contact usually results in a red."
