Following the thrilling encounter, Carter claimed his 48-year-old was 'snotting all over the floor' as he hit out at O'Sullivan.
He said: "There were a couple of things that happened out there that go unnoticed.
"Well, they don’t go unnoticed, but anyone with an eyesight or a brain can see what’s going on.
"And it’s disgusting quite frankly. No-one wants to say anything, do they? Snotting all over the floor and all that. It’s outrageous behaviour from a top professional."

His comments have infuriated O'Sullivan, who won his 23rd Triple Crown title, as he proceeded to stick his middle finger up at Ali in his press conference before storming out.
Biting back, he remarked: “I haven’t spoken to him for 20 years. I played with him when he was a kid and shared a lot of stuff with him.
“For him to come out and try to trash talk me like that, do you know what? He can have one of them.
“He can sit on it as far as I’m concerned. I don’t give a f***. You know what he’s like, everybody knows what he’s like. He’s got issues.
