Swansea boss Bradley: Llorente can fire us to safety

Swansea City boss Bob Bradley was delighted with two goal Fernando Llorente after their 3-0 rout of Sunderland.

Llorente bagged a brace for the second successive home game as Swansea climbed out of the drop zone with an emphatic 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers Sunderland.

"We absolutely believed Fernando can be an important player," Bradley said. "There's a good understanding with Gylfi playing underneath him.

"His presence, his experience as a winner... Every manager loves players who have been part of winning teams.

"They have the right mentality and can bring experiences from that winning culture into the training ground and dressing room."
