Everton's Barkley a 'great talent' - Swansea's Laudrup

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup was quick to praise Ross Barkley after his match-winning performance for Everton on Sunday.

The 20-year old England midfielder scored a stunning free-kick in the 84th minute to hand the Toffees a 2-1 win at the Liberty Stadium and his efforts were praised by Swans manager Laudrup.

"He is a great talent, he is a great runner with the ball, he can play in tight areas, he is definitely a big talent," he told Sky Sports.

"He already has a lot of talents for someone so young."
