Paulo Sousa believes his side should have won at Loftus Road

The Swansea City manager was rueing a chance lost when he addressed the press after the 1-1 draw at his former club

He said “We deserved to win. If we had been a bit more clinical, particularly in the first half, we could have closed out the game we had four or five big chances to score.

“But when you are at 1-0 then anything can happen. One corner and something happens, and we get a bit of bad luck.

“I don’t think it was a fair result, especially for what my team did in the first 45 minutes.

“When you don’t take the chances you create, something like that can happen and we don’t want to allow that any more.

“But this has been a difficult month for us. We have had a lot of injuries and we have to manage these things well.

“With everything that has happened since the beginning of this month we need to be happy with what we have up until now.

“The league position is nice and we had some good results go our way.

“We are quite happy and ready for the last push.

“It was very good to be back here. Very nice. There was a nice atmosphere,” added Sousa.

“You could see the love and respect the players have and also the fans.

“It was a big recognition for the work I did here. The friendships have never stopped."
