Jack Cork: 'Swansea City win over Crystal Palace was a mental rollercoaster'

Swansea City midfielder Jack Cork describes his side's thrilling 5-4 victory over Crystal Palace at the Liberty Stadium as a "crazy game".

Swansea City midfielder Jack Cork has admitted that his side's 5-4 victory over Crystal Palace at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon was a "crazy game".

The match saw seven goals in the final 35 minutes as Swansea moved into a 3-1 lead before falling 4-3 behind, only to score twice in stoppage time to claim their first win under Bob Bradley in dramatic circumstances.

The results lifts Swansea off the bottom of the Premier League table while condemning fellow strugglers Palace to a sixth straight defeat, and Cork admitted that his side needed the win.

"It was mad. At 3-1 we thought the game was finished. At 4-3 we were a bit deflated but somehow we managed to get the win," he told reporters.

"It was a mental rollercoaster and we are physically drained. At 3-1 we just wanted to get the win and looked a bit nervous. It was so important, we needed that win, especially against Palace.

"I don't remember who scored the goals. It was one of those crazy games you don't see that often."

The result ended a club-record 11-match winless streak in the top flight for Swansea.
