Swansea defender Mike van der Horn: We celebrated Huddersfield point like win

Swansea City defender Mike van der Horn admits there were big celebrations after drawing 0-0 with Huddersfield Town.

Swansea battled to a 0-0 draw after losing Jordan Ayew to an 11th minute red card.

Van der Hoorn admitted there were celebratory scenes in the visitors' changing room.

“We celebrated it like a victory. Having to play for so long with 10 men and still getting a point is really pleasing," said the Dutch centre-back.

“After the red card we knew how the game would go. We just had to do our best to keep them out and get something from the game.

“We had to defend very strongly. We didn't get a moment to relax in defence, but the boys must take a lot of credit because they put a lot of very good crosses into the box but we defended well as a team.

"Going forward was difficult, so everyone knew we all had to defend well and that's what we did.

"The longer the game went the more confidence we took from it, and we are really happy going home with a point."
