Swansea City manager Garry Monk believes that his team should have won by more than one goal at Aston Villa today.

Bafetimbi Gomis scored the only goal of the game in the 87th minute, but Monk insists that the Swans should have converted more of their opportunities.

He told BBC Sport: "In the first half I thought we were fantastic and we should've scored one or two goals. The second half was much more even but we got the goal.

"If we had scored in the first half it would've made it more comfortable but we showed character. We have got a fantastic group of players and a real determination to keep going.

"It's a tough place to come but we showed real bravery and we deserved to score so it was pleasing for us."

The result sees Swansea move up to eighth in the Premier League table.
