Fernandez urges Swansea to take positives from Tottenham into Arsenal

Swansea City defender Federico Fernandez has urged his teammates to take the positives from the defeat against Tottenham into the upcoming game against Arsenal.

The Swans suffered a hard-fought 2-1 loss to Spurs on Sunday and will now travel to Emirates Stadium to take on the Gunners on Wednesday.

"We are disappointed because the performance was good," said the Argentina international.

"We played well in the first half, but Tottenham created a lot of chances and (Lukasz) Fabianski put in a very good performance.

"We stayed compact and wanted to take something from the game, and we showed character.

"They scored two goals in the second half, but there are positives to take into our next match.

"We scored a goal and then had a couple of chances in the second half in a difficult stadium. These are positives.

"We are training very hard and will focus on the next game to take something. We have two days to recover, but we need to take the same mentality into the next game."
