Monk says Swansea must stay grounded after back-to-back wins

Swansea City boss Garry Monk says they must stay grounded after a second consecutive win over Burnley.

Monk's men followed up their shock opening-day win at Manchester United by beating battling Burnley at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea withstanding pressure for most of the second half after Nathan Dyer had given them a 23rd-minute lead.

"It's a fantastic start and great to have six points, I'm not going to lie about that," Monk said after the game.

"The way I am, the players know we have a (Capital One Cup) game on Tuesday and that is what we focus on.

"It's the best start we could have had, but we know we are only two games from being on your back and getting dragged down.

"We have to build on what we've done and improve on mistakes."
