Monk insists Swansea deserved Chelsea draw

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was delighted with their 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

Swansea were unlucky to return to south Wales with just a point to their name, having continued where they left off last term.

"I thought for 90 minutes we were excellent," Monk said. "We really competed.

"I set the team up to be offensive and showcase the talent we have in the squad, and I thought we did that for 90 minutes.

"Of course there were periods when we had to defend well, but you'd expect that at a place like this against a really good team.

"We were excellent. The best chances fell to us. We had some very good chances. We always looked dangerous and got the result we deserved."
