Swansea City fullback Neil Taylor feels it was the right decision to play against Aston Villa following Gary Speed's passing.

Taylor said he and his team-mates had played as a mark of respect for Wales' most-capped outfield player.

"I don't think it's sunk in but having the game takes your mind off it but it also allows you to pay your respects by playing the game he loved so much.

"He was a great football man, we spoke about all the games he played and he was going to become a great manager with Wales. We just wanted to play to pay our respects."
