Swansea captain Matt Grimes says he could feel the pressure from Sunderland’s home crowd and praised his team for holding onto a 2-1 win.
The Swans dominated the first half at the Stadium of Light as two goals from Ronald gave them a half-time lead. Luke O’Nien managed to pull a goal back for Sunderland 13 minutes from time, yet the Black Cats couldn’t find an equaliser.
For Swansea, it was just the side’s second win in eight league games under head coach Luke Williams, following a run of tricky fixtures. “It was a brilliant win,” Grimes told Swansea’s website. “ I think obviously it’s been a real tough run of tough fixtures. To come away from home here and perform like we did, especially in the first half, is a testament to the lads.
