Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has admitted that the club cannot afford to be distracted by their 3-0 victory in Valencia on Thursday evening.

The Swans stunned their Spanish opponents by beating them 3-0 in the Europa League, but Laudrup has insisted that their focus must now be on beating Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The 49-year-old told Sky Sports News: "We have another important game on Sunday in the Premier League, so we have to move on, no matter how great a result this is.

"It's important to be happy about this result, it was a great night, but we already have to think about the game on Sunday.

"We cannot enjoy and savour this game for many days because we have to focus on the Premier League game, which is a very difficult away game."

Swansea currently sit in 13th position in the Premier League table.
