Rodgers: First Swansea win has erased doubts from players

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted for the players after their victory over West Bromwich Albion.

The result was particularly timely with a trip to Chelsea looming next weekend, and Rodgers hopes it can take his side to the next level.

He said: "I always try to take the pressure off the players and put pressure on myself, because of how we play the players need to feel confident.

"But for the players in their own minds to get a win is a big thing and it is a massive step forward, not only did we get the win but the style in which we did it was superb.

"We looked a real threat, like we have done all season. We were very creative but I also thought that was a big compliment to our organisation defensively.

"People will write about our style and passing, but there is substance to how we organise our lines and to keep three clean sheets in five games at this level is a tall order for a newly promoted club."
