Francesco Guidolin unhappy with Swansea City performance against Southampton

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin describes his side's performance in their 1-0 defeat to Southampton as the worst of his tenure so far.

Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin has admitted that his side did not deserve anything from their 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

Shane Long scored the only goal of the game to condemn Guidolin to his first loss in charge of the Swans as Southampton made it five wins and six clean sheets from their last six outings.

Guidolin described his side's performance as the worst of his tenure so far, and is unsure of the reason behind the display.

"For the first time in my five matches here I saw my team play not very well," he told reporters.

"I don't know why we did not play well. This is my first month and it is difficult to understand anything. I think we can do better but Southampton are a good team and are difficult in some situations.

"They are playing well in this period with five victories and six clean sheets and score against a lot of teams, not just us."

The defeat leaves Swansea three points clear of the relegation zone with 12 games of the season remaining.
