Swansea City manager Garry Monk heaped praise on his 'brave' players after their 2-1 win over Manchester United.

The Swans recovered from Juan Mata's opener to overturn the deficit through Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis efforts to secure their third consecutive win over Louis van Gaal's men.

Monk said: "We enjoyed that, in the first 20 minutes United started really well but second-half we were magnificent.

"The players were so brave today and we were clinical when we needed to be. We went to a diamond in the second half and that helped us. We are a force in this league."

The victory puts Monk's men in the Premier League top four heading into the international break.
