Garry Monk insists Swansea City are not dwelling on last weekend's
events at the Britannia Stadium ahead of their clash with Leicester
City.
A controversial first-half penalty, converted by Stoke City's Charlie Adam, became the focus of the post-match analysis after Jonathan Walters had netted a late winner for the hosts.
Monk was scathing in his assessment of the spot-kick award - stating that Victor Moses had "cheated the referee" when he went down under a challenge from Angel Rangel.
The Swansea boss was later contacted by the Football Association to clarify his post-match comments.
With Leicester the visitors to the Liberty Stadium this weekend, Monk claimed his full focus was now on returning to winning ways in the Premier League.
After both clubs had made promising starts to their respective campaigns, the Welsh club have now gone five league games without a victory, while last season's Championship winners have not taken maximum points since their famous 5-3 success against Manchester United.
With the fallout from Sunday's controversy set to rumble on, Monk has been eager to ensure all attention is on Saturday's clash as the two sides meet for the first time since their second-tier fixture in 2011.
