Brendan Rodgers was left stunned after the Swans conceded two late goals at Carrow Road

The Swansea City manager had ever right to think that his team were heading to victory to Norwich when they were awarded a late penalty - but David Cotterill saw his spot kick saved and to make matters worse just minutes later Ashley Williams was putting through his own goal to give the home side a lead they barely deserved.

“The performance was very, very good – but that’s what makes it so disappointing to have lost,” Rodgers said after the game

“For the first 10 or 15 minutes their shape gave us some problems but after that we controlled things and our passing and movement was outstanding.

“We created chances which was important and then having a penalty in the last 10 minutes and still losing hurts. But a really good save changed the momentum.

“I really felt for them because they are so honest and hungry and it was hard to take. The feeling in the dressing room was one of disbelief.

“But as much as you look to win games, that’s what I’m here to do, I am about performances as well and anyone watching that game would have seen a team causing real problems.

“Last week was fantastic, this was very very good – but we didn’t get the result.

“Sometimes that will happen when you play this way but it is still a step forward.”
