Angel Rangel praises Swansea City spirit

Swansea City defender Angel Rangel says that he is delighted with his team's 3-0 win over Cardiff City.

Swansea City defender Angel Rangel has said that his team showed "great spirit, togetherness and pride" during their Premier League match against Cardiff City.

The Swans claimed a 3-0 win over their Welsh rivals to give Garry Monk three points in his first game as head coach.

"Overall it was 10 out of 10. We kept a cleansheet, we passed the ball around really well and scored three goals," he told the club's official website. "Garry has done a great job this week, and we have shown great spirit, togetherness and pride.

"He made us play with a high tempo - on and off the ball - and I think the most important thing was to get the first goal. It's a difficult league, and you can't take any team for granted, and this was a vital game for us to win.

"But good teams get a result when they are really under pressure, and that performance said a lot about this team. We will have to keep working hard and show our qualities for the rest of the season. That's the aim."

Swansea visit Stoke City in the Premier League on Wednesday.
