Swansea forward Llorente backs his side to avoid relegation

Swansea striker Fernando Llorente is confident that the Welsh side can avoid relegation this season.

The Spanish striker scored his 12th goal of the season to lead his side to a crucial 1-0 win against Everton on Saturday.

As things stand, the Swans find themselves a solitary point ahead of 18th-placed Hull City, with two games left to play for each side this season.

He said: "I have a lot of experience in a lot of important matches. I was fighting relegation in Spain with Athletic Bilbao and it's very difficult being in this position, but I think we have a good dressing room.

"It was a very difficult game. Everton are a very difficult team with good players. We've played a very good match and if we continue in this way, I think we'll stay in the league."
