Andrea Orlandi is upset with himself over the handball that cost the Swans victory at Home Park

The Swansea City midfielder's last input into the game on Tuesday was a handball that eventually led to the twice taken penalty that shared the points between the Swans and Plymouth.

Orlandi handled the ball in the area giving the referee no alternative but to point to the spot much to the relief of the home fans and the dismay of the 720 strong Swansea support.

And Orlandi admits that he is not sure why he handled the ball, telling the Western Mail “I’m very upset with myself

“I don’t know what happened or why I did it.

“I have apologised to all my team-mates, but these things happen sometimes. I am very sorry, but it was just an instinctive reaction and sometimes you don’t know what you are doing.

“I was gutted when I came off the pitch. You feel really guilty because we had been working hard for nearly 90 minutes and then something like that happened.

“I just have to get over it now. I am sorry for the fans and my team-mates, but there is nothing I can do about it now.

“I will just try to put it right with my next performance. Hopefully I can make this up to the team, the gaffer and the fans.”
