Watford manager Javi Gracia:

“There were moments in the first half when we were dominant, but we started playing more at the other end, scoring more goals and creating more chances.

“But after the first goal from a corner kick, we feel we no longer have the strength to continue doing what we have been doing, which is to continue to understand that we have to play against a team that is well-organized and good in possession.

“We were better in the first 45 minutes, but in the second after the goal we couldn’t compete well.

“We are in a difficult period. We have players injured, we have players missing, we have players coming back, we have players playing through discomfort. This is the team we have at this moment.”

Swansea manager Vitor Matos:

“We felt that [away] The performance was going in the right direction, the mentality is and always will be going in the right direction.

“It was a matter of efficiency and detail and that’s what we got today. It’s a difficult place to come from. Watford are a really good team and it’s unusual for them to push us back in the first half, but we were able to deal with it.”

“Then we were able to score when we had the chances and keep a clean sheet.

“Having the ball in the second half allowed us to control the game more, which gave us momentum and chances.”
