Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has described his side's performance as "same story" as they slumped to their 11th league defeat of the season.

The Swans were swept aside at the Riverside as Middlesbrough claimed a comfortable 3-0 victory on Saturday afternoon, leaving the side 19th in the Premier League table and three points from safety.

"Same story. A number of games we've started in a positive way then give away a goal," Bradley told reporters afterwards. "We go down one-zero. The goal goes in in a strange way. We then give the PK.

"We put ourselves in the hole. It's been a case of road matches, but now we have two games at home.

"We're disappointed right now. We came in with a good idea. We turn our attention to the home matches over the Christmas period."

Swansea welcome a resurgent West Ham United to the Liberty on Boxing Day, ahead of the visit of Bournemouth on New Year's Eve.
