Monk pleased with manner of Swansea win over Burnley

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was pleased with the manner of their win at Burnley.

Kieran Trippier's chaotic 54th-minute own goal proved enough for Monk's men to hit the mark with 11 games to spare - and now he has his side's previous Premier League best of 47 in his sights.

"It was never going to be easy, but we came prepared for this kind of game and the pitch made it difficult for both teams to play good football," Monk said.

"But I talk about being adaptable and you have to be able to play good football and to do the basics and scrap out a win and I think we were able to show that today."
