Garry Monk has told his Swansea City charges to seize the chance to finish sixth in the Premier League this season after Monday's 1-0 win at Arsenal.

Bafetimbi Gomis netted the only goal of the game on 86 minutes as Swansea stay eighth but reduced the gap to sixth-placed Tottenham Hotspur to two points.

It has been a memorable league campaign for the Swans, who were tipped to struggle in Monk's first season in charge but remain on course for the club's best ever top-flight finish.

"What will be will be. The good thing about playing on Monday is that it meant we could see the results from the weekend," he told Sky Sports News.

"Why shouldn't we be pushing and go on the hunt for them [the sides above Swansea]. We'll take it into the last two games and wherever that takes us so be it."

Swansea host Manchester City at the weekend before visiting Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.
