Swansea City manager Garry Monk has insisted that he will "continue to work as hard as possible" to ensure that Swansea City remain in the Premier League.

The Swans, who lost 3-2 at Goodison Park earlier today, remain three points above the relegation zone.

"If I thought I wasn't doing the right things, then I'd hold my hands up," Monk is quoted as saying by FourFourTwo. "If you asked the players who see how hard I work, I think they'd say I'm doing the right things.

"I'll be judged on my results but until I'm told differently I'll continue to work as hard as possible. When you come to places like this, there's always a period where the opposition has some pressure, and you have to manage that properly.

"You have to get through those periods unscathed, you have to dig in, make the right decisions and we didn't do that in a five-minute period in the second half and it cost us."

Swansea return to action on Tuesday night with a visit to Arsenal.
