Monk accepts Swansea deserved defeat

Swansea City boss Garry Monk accepted they deserved defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

Bafetimbi Gomis wasted their best chance in the first half when he shot straight at Ben Foster.

Monk said: "They deserved the win, I have no complaints. We didn't deserve anything from the game.

"The first half was pretty even but we didn't play with any tempo or intensity. That's what we need in our game and we didn't have it at all.

"West Brom, the way they set up to counter, were patient, they grew in confidence and, when they had a chance to break, they broke and got the goals they deserved.

"They were there to be got at and we missed the chance."
