Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has revealed that he thought he had equalised for his team in the latter stages of Saturday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
With the Swans losing 2-1 entering stoppage time against Manchester United, Fabianski was sent forward for a corner. The Polish stopper made contact with his head, but the ball flashed wide of the post as the home side held on for all the points.
The 30-year-old, who believes that he was "unlucky" not to score, also paid tribute to Wayne Rooney, who scored Man United's second goal with a clever flick.
"I had a really good contact on the ball with a clear header and was just hoping it would squeeze in but unfortunately it went wide. It was a little bit unlucky," Fabianski told reporters.
"I think you have to give Wayne Rooney massive credit for the second goal. That was something not many players can do. He showed his class. It was a great touch and finish. There wasn't much we could do.
"Our recent performances show this group is together, that's for sure. We believe in our current manager, Alan Curtis. No matter what happens with him or a new manager, we promised ourselves something and we want to represent Swansea City to get the results. Even though we lost today, we can be positive."
Swansea have still not appointed a new permanent manager following the dismissal of Garry Monk earlier this season.
