Swansea goal-scorer Shefki Kuqi says Derby County's James McEveley should have been sent off earlier in Saturday's fiery 1-0 win at Pride Park.
The Swans were furious that McEveley was only yellow-carded for a bad tackle on Joe Allen, before picking up his second booking for fouling Nathan Dyer.
Swansea's Gorka Pintado saw a straight red a dreadful lunge on Robbie Savage and faces a four-match ban.
"It should have been a straight red [for McElevey]," said Kuqi.
"But he got away with it. I don't think he [Pintado is] that type of player but Savage got straight up.
"I don't think he meant to hurt him. I'm pleased it wasn't anything bad.
"He's going to be suspended for a couple of games but I'm sure he'll be back again."
The Rams were furious at the Pintado challenge on Savage and their their players had to be restrained as a mass brawl involving at least 18 players was sparked.

But Pintado was the only player referee Steve Tanner took action against.
The Spaniard is expected to see an automatic three-match ban increased to four as he was sent off earlier in the season in the fiery 2-1 Carling Cup defeat to Scunthorpe.
"He should get banned for more than three games for that tackle, that was horrendous," a furious Savage told the BBC.
Finnish international Kuqi's second-half header off David Cotterill's free kick kept Paul Sousa's men on course for the play-offs.
He joined ahead of the January transfer window deadline following ill-fated move to Germany from Crystal Palace and says the move has been good for him.
"I'm really pleased, not just because of the goal but because of the three points after the lads put in so much effort," said the 33-year-old.
"We've been practising free kicks and corners every day in training and it paid off.
"We've got a really good group here, the gaffer has created an unbelievable atmosphere.
"I'm really happy to be part of this team. We're looking for a really exciting end of season.
"I had other options when I came here. But there was something that clicked with me straight away.
