Defensive lapses take shine off for Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers believes securing Swansea’s top-flight status is a “monumental achievement” but admits the manner of the 4-4 draw with Wolves has taken the edge off the accomplishment.

The point picked up in Saturday’s breathless eight-goal encounter ensured the Swans are mathematically safe with two games of the season still to go.

Having been tipped by many for an immediate return to the Championship following their play-off final win at Wembley last May, the Welsh side have confounded expectations with their effective possession style.
