Swansea boss Laudrup pleased to take point from Villa

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup was pleased with their 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.

Swansea are also in a sticky run having not won any of their last six games, and it was confirmed on Saturday that top scorer Michu had had an ankle operation that will keep him out for six weeks.

Boss Michael Laudrup had no doubt they deserved more from Villa Park.

He said: "Normally when you get a point from away games in the Premier League, especially if you are a mid-table or bottom team, you should be pleased, but I think after our first half we should have won the game.

"Even conceding an early goal, we came back, dominated completely, created chances, scored the equaliser and could have scored one or two more.

"Second half we still dominated in possession but without creating a lot of chances. Villa did not have any chances at all.

"Even taking off my Swansea glasses, I still think as a neutral you would say that we should have won this game. I think they're quite happy with a point."
