Garry Monk praises resolute Swansea

Southampton 0 Swansea 1: Garry Monk was pleased by the way Swansea not only managed to frustrate Southampton but leave St Mary’s with a first Premier League win of 2015.

Arriving on the south coast without a top-flight victory since St Stephen’s Day, few expected their rotten recent form to improve in yesterday’s late kick-off.

However, Swansea managed to frustrate the hosts, with a resolute defence and dollop of luck allowing them to eke out a 1-0 win, courtesy of Jonjo Shelvey’s fine, late strike.
