Swansea's Laudrup feels Everton loss was harsh

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup feels his side were hardly done by when losing 2-1 to Everton on Sunday.

The Welsh club conceded to Seamus Coleman in the 66th minute before Dwight Tiendalli's 70th-minute effort was turned into its own net by Bryan Oviedo.

Ross Barkley stepped up to produce a superb free-kick in the 84th minute to give the Toffees all three points but Laudrup felt they were undeserved for the visitors.

"We did not deserve to lose, conceding such a late goal at a moment when Everton, I think, were OK with a draw," he told Sky Sports.

"They had made two substitutions, taking out two offensive players and putting in two midfielders. Barkley made a great run and they scored from the free-kick.

"It was harsh and the least we deserved was a point. That's how football is.

"Their goalkeeper made a couple of great saves. I don't want to say Everton found luck, because it was a great free-kick, but they just found the three points."
