Sheffield Wednesday: You dived ... Owls defender Daniel Pudil's blast at Swansea's Luciano Narsingh
Narsingh went down under a challenge from Morgan Fox in the box three minutes after half-time but referee Paul Tierney waved play on.
Owls defender Pudil, who was lucky not be penalised for pushing over Tammy Abraham in the six-yard area in the first half, told The Star: “It was a clear dive. He (Morgan) didn’t even touch him. He didn’t even want to go for the ball. Narsingh just pushed the ball in front of him and he dived. He waited for the whistle but I think even he knew that because he stood up and carried on.”
