Swansea City 2-3 Sunderland: Jobe Bellingham seals comeback win
14 December 2024Swansea head coach Luke Williams:
“Miles off the level. Miles off the top six level. We’re not even close. That’s very obvious after watching that.
“Thinking about it [the top six] is one thing. But playing against the top six and getting destroyed makes you realise that we’re nowhere near it.
“It’s not even about how we can play against the top six. It’s the mentality. We go two in front and then can’t wait to concede because it’s too much pressure. That’s one of the things that happens when you compete in the top six.
“One of the things that happens is you accumulate pressure. If you don’t like being there, it’s not the right place for you, you try and find a way to get out of that uncomfortable situation and we did a brilliant job of that today.”
Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris:
“It was a long week so I am happy to win. We started slowly with two goals conceded on set-plays but I thought during the first half that it was possible to be back in the game because we had good qualities on the pitch.
“It was clear in my mind that we just needed to fix one or two problems, especially how they escaped our press with long balls down our left.
“When we fixed that problem, I think we dominated the second half. We were probably a bit more aggressive with our finishing – we created chances and we scored.
“It’s good a win – it’s good for character, good for confidence and good for the spirit of the team.”
