Garry Monk: 'Liverpool defeat a missed opportunity'

Garry Monk has said that Swansea City's Premier League loss to Liverpool was a 'missed opportunity'.

Jordan Henderson scored the only goal of the game in the second half to deny Swansea the chance to move up to eighth in the table.

"I think it's disappointing. There was an opportunity presented where we could have got something from that game. The first half we dictated, should have got a goal but credit to Liverpool they cam back out," Monk told Sky Sports News.

"They weren't creating a lot of chances, to concede the deflected goal we did is harsh on the players.

"Against these big teams in the moments where you are dominating you have to take your chances, get that goal, or two goals."

Swansea travel to relegation battlers Aston Villa on Saturday.
