    Conor Hourihane's equaliser last night for Swansea. He swung in a cross from the right, the Brentford keeper catches an elbow in the face, and the ball goes in.

    There's always an argument for how much protection a keeper should receive, but the Brentford keeper is clearly charged down by an attacker who doesn't play the ball (as Hourihane is credited with the goal). It's in complete contrast to our disallowed goal last night, where the referee has just seen their keeper get flattened, but not determined the who and why.

    Watching our highlights earlier. Moore runs in with both hands out and pushes Sibbick (I think) out of the way. He heads over, so no major problem, but it was in the open away from the other players and the Ref ignored it. Not as bad as the disallowed goal, which I think VAR would have given, but it was constant throughout the game.

    Great strike from Conor though!
