Swansea manager Steve Cooper said:
"First half we were short, we didn't do the basics right, and in the end we gave away two soft goals and we gave ourselves an uphill challenge.
"They are a good team, take nothing away from them, but I think we gave them too much respect. For all their play they didn't create loads of shooting opportunities other than the goals.
"If you don't do the basics right you won't win any game, we try and play well and with discipline but we also try to defend well and today we didn't."
