Watch the incident that earned Raheem Sterling a yellow card for diving in Manchester City's win over Swansea - but did Mike Dean get it wrong?

The England international was found with a raking pass just before half-time in behind the Swansea defence and beat Lukas Fabianski to the ball. His momentum made him fall to the ground after the goalkeeper had misjudged the ball - but there were no claims for a penalty by one City player.

The play developed and came to nothing, but Dean brought the play back - maybe on the advice of his linesman - to card Sterling for an apparent simulation, which bemused Sterling and his team-mates, who went on to win the game 2-1.

The result sees City leapfrog Arsenal and Liverpool in the table, one point behind Tottenham, but still 10 points shy of leaders Chelsea.
