Swans boss Matos defends Stamenic over red card

The game at St Andrew's was interrupted in the second half as Swansea goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux complained that missiles were being thrown from the crowd.When asked about what happened, Matos said: "The ref brought over two [cigarette] lighters [to the fourth official]."It's more than clear that it is not acceptable. Let's see what happens. Of course it's not right."Nevertheless, the Matos insisted he was "not here to give excuses" after Swansea dropped to sixth in the Championship having been beaten for the fourth time in five matches.The dip in form has come after the Swans lost only one of their first 10 league games this season."What I am here to say is that with this group of players, with the effort they made and the character they have, we as a club, we will come back," Matos declared."They will come back and we will go back to our standards."
