Brendan Rodgers was relieved and delighted after guiding Swansea City to the English Premier League this afternoon.
The Swans won the Championship playoff over Reading with a thrilling 4-2 victory at Wembley Stadium and former Royals boss Rodgers was over the moon to be joining QPR and Norwich City in the top flight.
"It was a fantastic game but I don't think we played as well as we have done for most of the season," the Swansea boss told Sky Sports 1.
"In the moments that we showed quality, we were very good. Obviously we conceded the two goals. That actually helped us re-focus and then after that we got a bit of control in the game again. As you can imagine when it got to 3-2 it was a bit nervy.
"Big credit to Reading. They are fantastic lads, I've worked with them for six months and it was a proper game.
"The important thing today was to win the game and I think that the players will go in with great confidence.
"These players deserve to be there. They show great courage and they try and pass the ball. I think ourselves QPR and Norwich will be a great credit to the Championship and hopefully do well."
