Monk bemoans missed chances against Liverpool

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has lamented his team's profligacy after a 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Monday.

The hosts dominated the first half at the Liberty Stadium but were unable to beat Simon Mignolet, before being undone by a fortuitous second-half Jordan Henderson goal.

And Monk, whose team sit ninth in the Premier League after back-to-back losses, felt his side had failed to capitalise on the chance to beat Liverpool.

"It was a good opportunity where we could have got something," he told Sky Sports afterwards.

"We dictated the whole of the first half, but we should have got the goal. Credit to Liverpool, they showed their quality in the second half.

"To concede the goal we did was very hard on the players. Against these big teams, you have to take that opportunity and get that goal or two.

"We have been doing that well this season but Liverpool stepped up second half and we weren't as crisp or sharp with our passes."

He continued: "Ultimately, we deserved at least a point from the game. The commitment and effort from my players was fantastic.

"If we play like we did in the first half, we will be able to get lots more points in the games to come."
