Roberto Martinez: 'Crowd swayed referee'

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes that the crowd swayed Michael Oliver into awarding Swansea City a penalty in the teams' 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium.

Roberto Martinez has claimed that the crowd at the Liberty Stadium helped sway the referee to give Swansea City a penalty in their draw with Everton this afternoon.

Michael Oliver awarded the hosts a second-half spot kick following a Seamus Coleman handball, allowing Jonjo Shelvey to level the scores to secure a 1-1 draw.

The Toffees boss told BT Sport: "Clearly there's contact. I've seen it many times given as a free kick. He's trying to protect the ball and gets unbalanced and from that point he expects the free kick to be given.

"It's one of those actions where you expect the referee to be a little bit more above the occasion. You felt the crowd were asking for two or three decisions and it was building up to a decision and unfortunately we were on the receiving end."

Everton sit 12th in the table following the draw.
