Swansea City manager Garry Monk has expressed his delight at the performance of his players during their 3-0 win against Norwich City.

A double from Jonathan de Guzman and a strike from Wayne Routledge gave the Swans a first win in seven Premier League matches, as they moved seven points above the relegation zone.

"I think it was important we got the points, which are crucial, but we also put on a performance," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "However, I don't think that was even our best, we can improve, but to come away with the three points, I can't complain.

"We took our chances today and that is important in this league because chances are hard to come by. We just need to continue putting in performances until the end of the season.

"It has been a very difficult season for us results-wise but that is not because of a lack of effort, we just have not had our best players performing as they should be."

Swansea are currently 13th in the Premier League table.
