Francesco Guidolin has urged his Swansea City team to be more clinical in front of goal.

The Swans took an early lead against Crystal Palace last week but were unable to double their advantage despite creating a host of opportunities.

The end result was a 1-1 draw which saw them move four points clear of the bottom three but still it is not enough for Guidolin who has overseen a win ad two draws since stepping into the role at the Liberty Stadium.

Ahead of Saturday's home clash with Southampton, the Italian said: "I am happy.

"But I would be happier if we had won the match last week.

"We played very well, I think, but I am disappointed because we had the match in our hands and we did not win.

"So I am happy because my team are playing well, but we must be clinical. We must kill the match.

"It's important to be more focused. In all situations, but particularly set-pieces."
