Carvalhal praises 'London traffic' Swansea for stopping 'Formula 1 car' Liverpool

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal has compared Liverpool to a Formula 1 car and his defence as London traffic.

The Swans beat Jurgen Klopp's 1-0 on Monday night despite conceding 71% possession and 21 shots.

Carvalhal used the analogy of traffic to represent how his team stopped a formidable Liverpool attack that has scored 54 goals this season.

He said: "I told my players: Liverpool is a strong team. Like a Formula 1 car.

"If you put that F1 car in the 4pm London traffic, the F1 car will not drive very fast. That's exactly what we had to do. Let them play in a way they don't like."
