Swansea manager Steve Cooper said:

"We had a really poor start to the game, didn't do anything well starting with the basics and the fundamentals of what makes a good performance.

"In the end we got punished for it and gave ourselves too much to do.

"I don't care about what went on in the past. Okay Saturday was an important day, but they played as well.

"That's not an excuse and if we look for excuses I don't think that's the right mentality.

"We have got to take it on the chin. The players know they fell short, I know they fell short and it ended up being a really disappointing night."
