Swansea boss Rodgers finds positives in Man Utd defeat

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers drew plenty of positives from their defeat to Manchester United.

Javier Hernandez scored the only goal after 11 minutes, bringing an end to Swansea's unbeaten home record.

"We're very disappointed with the result," Rodgers told ESPN.

"It was two halves to the game. The first half we were on the back foot, which is understandable against such top players. We weren't really at our best.

"The second half we were terrific with the ball and looked very dangerous.

"I'm very proud of the players, they'll learn from that.

"It was a terrific second-half performance, and I take great pride in watching them play like that against a top team.

"It was a great performance, we just didn't get the final touch."
