Garry Monk plays down win

Swansea City manager Garry Monk plays down his side's 2-1 win away at Newcastle United.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has played down his side's 2-1 win away at Newcastle United, claiming that his side were "sloppy" during the game and have been "inconsistent" throughout the season.

Wilfried Bony scored a brace at St James' Park, including a penalty in injury time, to cancel out Shola Ameobi's first-half strike.

Monk told reporters after the game: "We started well in the first 20 minutes, but then they got the goal and we got a bit sloppy in our passing.

"Thankfully, our second goal was a penalty. It was good to get those rewards. We've played a lot better than we've done today and come away with nothing.

"It's been a difficult season and very inconsistent for the standards we've set. We're just trying to get a job done and these three points go a long way to doing that."

The Swans currently occupy 13th place in the Premier League.
