The Verdict

It was indeed a disappointment for Swansea last night, who would have been hoping to capitalise on Jonathan Woodgate's outfit's inconsistencies to take a point, if not all three.

But it just wasn't to be as they were outclassed - not many teams will do that to them this season - but there may also be a worry that these margins are becoming a bit too frequent, having lost 4-1 to Huddersfield last month.

In a way though it is good to see Ayew has said there's no excuses, as it means the team know how poor they played and they will be itching to get it right come Saturday when they take on big rivals Cardiff.
