Swansea captain Williams defends attitude for Newcastle draw

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams defended their attitude after drawing with Newcastle United.

Williams insisted complacency had not been an issue given Newcastle's poor form and Swansea having made their best start to a Premier League campaign with 11 points from the first seven matches.

"A lot of people probably thought this was a game where we could just turn up and get three points, but we knew that would not be the case," Williams said.

"We knew they would scrap for everything but the principles we set down during pre-season mean we want more from ourselves.

"We do not want another mediocre season, we want to beat teams here and we did not do that."
