Swansea City defender Angel Rangel admits he deserved his yellow card for simulation in their 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Saturday.
Rangel went down in the box from a Matteo Darmian challenge just after the hour-mark as Swansea pushed for an equaliser against United.
Referee Jonathan Moss booked the Spaniard for diving, which Rangel admitted to doing after the game.
"I had a bit of a fight with [Callum] McManaman last week because he dived, but I did dive," he said. "If it’s a dive, it’s a yellow card, so that is clear.
"He [Darmian] put his foot in and he touched my left foot, but it wasn't enough contact for me to go down.
"I was losing my balance and I thought, 'It’s not like really cheating' but I was falling already so I just tried to claim it. It was like a gamble.
"I said, 'Well done' to the ref. It wasn’t a penalty, no."
"Everyone would be devastated to get relegated," Rangel said. "We know how difficult it is to go back up so we don’t want to be in the Championship."
