West Ham United assistant manager Neil McDonald has criticised referee Mike Dean for having James Collins taken off the field in the lead up to Swansea City's equalising goal in their 1-1 Premier League draw this afternoon.
The Hammers took the lead at the Liberty Stadium on the stroke of half time through Andy Carroll, but the Swans equalised through a Mark Noble own goal midway through the second half.
McDonald told BBC Sport after the game: "We created chances and got at them and we are very disappointed not to come out with three points.
"James Collins got a knock on the head and was off the pitch when Swansea scored. Our physios came on and the referee said that he had had a knock on the head and needed to come off, which I think was a misunderstanding and that was disappointing.
"I was on the phone to the manager who had a few little pointers for the game as he was watching on the television. We tried to relate that to the players."
West Ham sit seventh in the Premier League after a fourth game without a win.
