Ipswich Town 3-0 Swansea City: Mehmeti, Azon and Hirst goals boost top-two hopes

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna:

“A good performance. I thought the boys went at it with a lot of humility, recognised exactly what the opponent was and what we needed to do.

“That meant first half a really aggressive high press, man to man. We put together some really good moves through the pitch ourselves and got the goals.

“Second half we needed to stay humble, defend, limit them and know we would get some big opportunities of our own.

“There were some lovely passages of play against a good opponent who contributed to the game as well.”

Swansea head coach Vitor Matos:

“Ipswich is a good team. They played much better than us. I think they are probably the hardest opponent we have faced in terms of quality.

“We tried to compete, we tried to start with fresh legs. That was quite important, to try to get the intensity we want. We weren’t able to.

“They scored early. They got more comfortable and we needed to go chasing the result.

“First half was completely dominated by them. Second half we came with a different spirit, much more aggressive, more front-footed. The subs came on and tried to have an impact but they ended up 3-0. They were better than us.”
