Alan Curtis hits out at referee

Referee Graham Scott is heavily criticised by interim boss Alan Curtis following Swansea City's 4-2 home defeat at the hands of Sunderland.

Swansea City's interim manager Alan Curtis has criticised the performance that referee Graham Scott produced during his side's 4-2 defeat at home to Sunderland tonight.

The Swans lost Kyle Naughton to a straight red card in the 37th minute, despite replays showing that the full-back had clearly won the ball in a challenge with Yaan M'Vila.

On top of that, Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe helped himself to a hat-trick, two goals of which he appeared to score from offside positions.

"All the major incidents in the game I think the referee got totally wrong," Curtis told BBC Sport.

"The first goal and third are clearly offside decisions. You can recover but when you play with 10 men for an hour, that's the one that killed us more than anything."

Scott was drafted in to officiate the game as a late replacement for Andre Marriner, who was taken ill.
