Sousa hails victorious Swans
Swansea boss Paulo Sousa heaped praise on his side following their 1-0 win at Crystal Palace.
The Welsh play-off contenders simply outclassed their South London hosts and former Palace striker Shefki Kuqi took full advantage of a defensive mistake to score the only goal of the game.
Sousa said: "It was important to win here against a difficult opponent.
"We are more mature, we are suffering pressure better and are more consistent.
"To win games, sometimes you need to be always strong and focused 100% on doing the right things, and that's what we've done here."
Sousa was delighted with Kuqi on his first full start, and he added: "I'm very happy. I wanted to bring him in at the start of the season, then tried a month before he arrived. He is someone who can come in and help us with different football and different characteristics."
