Swansea City could be reprimanded over showing big-screen replays of an incident involving Jack Butland, the Stoke City goalkeeper, on Monday night.
Butland escaped punishment from Robert Madley, the referee, for his 17th-minute challenge outside the area on André Ayew, despite appearing to challenge for the ball with his studs.
The incident was replayed three times from different angles on big screens at the Liberty Stadium and provoked an angry reaction from Swansea supporters.
Barclays Premier League rules stipulate that big screens should not show controversial incidents or events that question the match officials’ judgement.
“It was human error at the central hub where pictures are controlled,” a club spokesman said.
