Swansea City boss Garry Monk has hailed the quality of Jefferson Montero.

The winger was superb for Swans' 2-2 draw at Chelsea last week.

"For me Jeff is probably the best in the league in one-on-one situations," said Monk. "I haven't seen anyone create so many opportunities by beating his man.

"He is relentless, he doesn't give defenders any peace and that is what we encourage him to do.

"What you need with players like that is for them to be protected, because I think what you'll see is teams start to identify that and try using physical elements to try to disrupt them.

"When that happens hopefully the refs recognise that and deal with it because his percentage of winning his duel with his marker is probably the highest in the league."
