Swansea City captain Ashley Williams has insisted that his team will be "fine" in the Premier League as long as they keep their fighting spirit.

Garry Monk's side suffered their first blip of the season a fortnight ago when they recorded a 1-0 defeat to Watford.

At the weekend, the team managed to show gritty determination to hold Everton to a goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium.

"We did the ugly side of it very well [against Everton]," the South Wales Evening Post quotes Williams as saying. "We didn't do that the week before and we spoke about it after the game.

"I rather like that side of it and as long as we keep that level of fight, with the quality we've got in the side, we'll be fine."

Last night, the Swans were knocked out of the Capital One Cup due to a 1-0 defeat to Hull City.
