Gomes has accused Bent of ensuring that his leg connected with his opponent when falling to ground in Saturday’s 2-0 win to Spurs.
Bent went on to miss the penalty he had been awarded and Gomes was delighted with making the save.
“I didn’t think I would get sent off because I didn’t think it was a penalty,” Gomes said. “When I saw the ball was going out I pulled my arm back.
“It’s a difficult situation but it is his (Bent’s) job. The referee needs to know these things, that when a striker comes to the 18-yard box they try to dive for a penalty. They have to know.
“I don’t accept something like that but you have to keep going when the referee gives a penalty, you have to try to save it.”
