Swansea boss Monk frustrated over Newcastle fight-back

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was left frustrated by their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.

Monk felt a lack of concentration hurt his side after they had dominated the majority of the game and taken the lead through Wilfried Bony and Wayne Routledge.

"It's two points dropped and the goals we conceded were poor," Monk said.

"There was a lack of concentration and it's cost us dearly.

"We knew Newcastle would be fighting and they showed that in their performance.

"We were dominant but we conceded a poor goal before half-time and we spoke about starting the second half very well.

"We did that but possession came for us too easily and that was our downfall for the second goal because they countered and scored."
