Swansea boss Carvalhal mixed emotions after Newcastle draw

Newcastle United and Swansea City played out a 1-1 draw at St James' Park on Saturday.

After Jordan Ayew's goal had been cancelled out by Joselu, Swansea had a chance to steal it late on but it was honours even between two sides threatened by relegation.

There was a chance for the visitors to win it in stoppage time, but Wilfried Bony saw his shot cleared off the line.

“After the game I don't know if we have achieved one point or lost two, especially when you arrive in the dressing room after the game and my players are really upset because there was a feeling that we could have won," Carvalhal said.

“I arrived two weeks ago. We have moved things around and changed the formation.

“Against Tottenham they scored an invalid goal and we had three or four clear chances, so we could easily have got something.

“But we have a point at Newcastle so we have four points from two away games and not a bad performance against Tottenham.

“We are progressing. We are playing better, with more confidence and a better dynamic.

“Things are still very difficult for us and there's a lot of work to do, but I think people can see that we are progressing.

“If we continue like that, maybe we can achieve something and jump some positions in the table. I think we deserve this interpretation."
