Dyer: We Are Happy For Gorka

Nathan Dyer says that the team is happy for Gorka Pintado after seeing him break his goal drought

The Swansea City striker scored his first goal since last March to earn the Swans a victory over Leicester on Saturday - a result that lifted them into 4th place in the Championship table.

And as well as his delight for his team mate, Dyer felt that the result was a huge one for the Swans pinpointing the importance of winning a game 1-0 despite maybe not playing at your best.

Dyer told the Western Mail “It was an important win for us against one of our playoff rivals

“They have been doing well this season and it’s always going to be tough when you play teams in the top six.

“Obviously, after losing to them in the cup, it was a bit of revenge as well. But it was more important that we played well and stuck out a 1-0 win, which has been difficult for us.

“All the top teams have to hold on to 1-0 wins, even when they aren’t playing well. I feel we have done that this season. That’s the difference from last season.

“It mean a lot to Gorka and we are happy for him.

“He works hard in training and he always plays his heart out for the team when selected. “It’s good that he got his reward for that. As a striker you want and need goals to get confidence and now he has got that.”
