Swansea City boss Russell Martin said Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore should have been sent off in Tuesday night's 3-3 draw between the sides.
Moore came off the bench to score twice as he inspired a comeback against the Swans after the Cherries found themselves 3-0 down. But there was a flashpoint just 11 minutes after he came when Flynn Downes felt the force of a challenge from the striker and Martin said it warranted a red card.
And had he been dismissed for serious foul play he would have been handed a three-match ban meaning he would have missed Bournemouth's promotion showdown against Forest next Tuesday. "Losing Ben was a massive moment for us, to lose our only defender who is over 6ft tall against a side with the athleticism and physical prowess of Bournemouth, who went really direct, is a factor,” said Martin.
