VIDEO: Swansea City boss Garry Monk fancies European return -...

And depending on who wins the FA Cup this season, it may be that the side who finish the campaign in seventh end up in the Europa League. But with so many heavyweight clubs above Swansea in the table, Monk has played down...

Burnley 0 Swansea City 1: How the players fared at Turf Moor
IT was hardly a vintage game at Turf Moor, but Stephen Ware saw many positive performances from within the visitors' ranks.
