Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was full of praise for Swansea City after Sunday's defeat.

The Swans rattled City's title hopes with the win, but Mancini still found time to praise their performance.

Asked if they'll beat the drop, Mancini said: "They have 36 points now? Then it is easy.

"'I said before they played some of the best football and here they played very well. I don't think we deserved to lose but they played very well with the ball, especially the first 30 minutes.'"
