Garry Monk: 'Swansea City were the better team'

Garry Monk says that his Swansea City side were the "better team by far" during their 1-1 home draw with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has claimed that his side were the "better team by far" during their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Wilfried Bony had given the Swans the lead before Mile Jedinak equalised from the penalty spot following Jonjo Shelvey's challenge on Marouane Chamakh.

After the game at the Liberty Stadium, Monk told BBC Sport: "Apart from 10 minutes in the first half we controlled the whole game.

"We had our chances but couldn't get the second goal and it became difficult.

"We were the better team by far but you have to put the ball in the net. It was difficult when they were basically camped out on their 18 yard box, but credit to them as they defended well."

The result left Swansea seventh in the Premier League table, while Palace climbed to 13th.
