RUSSELL MARTIN

praised the aggression and intensity of his Swansea side after they snatched their first win of the season.

Michael Obafemi teed up substitute Olivier Ntcham for the simplest of goals in the 87th minute after a two-on-one situation with the keeper.

Martin was particularly pleased with the way his side bounced back from last week’s humbling 3-0 defeat to Blackburn.

He said: ‘There was some criticism last week about being slow, which was right, and I take responsibility for that. But I loved the players’ aggression and intensity today — we were so good in the first half.’

Home boss Michael Appleton said: ‘We’re creating opportunities, there’s no doubt about that — we’re just not being clinical enough.’
