Garry Monk laments mistakes in Swansea City defeat

Garry Monk admits that defensive mistakes cost his Swansea City side in the 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Garry Monk has claimed that mistakes prevented Swansea City from picking up a positive result in the 3-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

Second-half goals from Ryan Mason and Andros Townsend put Spurs 3-1 up before Gylfi Sigurdsson reduced the deficit late on, and Monk was unable to hide his disappointment with the manner of his side's defeat.

"I'm disappointed with those two goals," the Swansea boss told Sky Sports News. "We were playing well at that point looking like we were going to create then two mistakes from us made it difficult.

"We pushed towards the end and could have scored a late equaliser but it wasn't to be."

The match was overshadowed by the collapse of Bafetimbi Gomis in the first half, but the French forward has since played down concerns about his health.
