Carlos Carvalhal insisted Swansea would have been given a penalty and Mohamed Diame a red card within "10 seconds" if a video assistant referee had been in use at Newcastle. Carvalhal said: "I can't say that is a penalty because of the place I was. "I am absolutely sure that would have been a red card and a penalty, absolutely sure. In 10 seconds, the video referee would give a communication saying, 'Stop, penalty and red card', I am absolutely sure."
