Swansea head coach Vitor Matos:
“The result was not good, that’s clear. In the game there were good moments that we can build from and I think that’s the most important thing, that now we have a starting point to build from.
“We need to improve a lot of things, [that is] clear. But I think the way we need to finish our attacks, the way we have the ball

Swansea, who are 18th in the Championship having won only one of their past seven league games, have given no indication as to how long the interim coaching team will remain at the helm.
Following the trip to Bristol City, the Swans host Derby County next Tuesday before visiting West Brom the following Saturday.
Swansea initially targeted Hellberg, but the Hammarby coach is set for second-placed Boro.

Tottenham went 1-0 down for the 15th Premier League home game in 2024, the most ever by a side in a single calendar year in the competition, after a bewildering lack of defensive concentration.
Hwang collected a free-kick rolled across the 18-yard box by Rayan Ait-Nouri and was afforded the freedom of the Tottenham Stadium to pick his spot.
Amorim dismissed Wolves’ second goal, in the ninth minute of stoppage time, because it came at a point when United were chasing the game.
That task was not made any easier by the dismissal of skipper Bruno Fernandes for the third time this season when, having already been booked in the first-half, clipped Wolves captain Nelson Semedo at the start of the second to trigger a second yellow, a red,
