Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal says that his side's reaction to going 1-0 down against West Bromwich Albion was "fantastic".

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal has praised his players for the way they responded to going a goal down in their 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion.

The Portuguese coach admitted that there was room for improvement concerning his team's overall performance, but described their reaction to Jay Rodriguez's opener as "fantastic".

"I am [pleased with a point]. We expected a difficult game with a change of manager," Carvalhal told Sky Sports News. "The [West Brom] players are in a difficult position, and they made things difficult. We felt this during the game, they put some problems to us even though we controlled with our defensive organisation.

"We must do better when we're on the ball, in the first half we knew that. In the second half, it was still the same, but after the goal, we reacted - we have a lot of strength in our head.

"The team's reaction was fantastic. We were nearer to the opponent's goal and did not gift too many opportunities to them.

"At the end, it's one point. We are trying to collect them to achieve a good number at the end, and this is one more."

Tammy Abraham's equaliser helped Swansea move four points clear of the dropzone, while West Brom stay bottom.
