Leroy Fer urges Swansea City to "get better" following defeat to Leicester City

By Danielle Joynson, Staff Reporter | 27 August 2016

Swansea City midfielder Leroy Fer says that the team need to improve and "keep believing" after they lost 2-1 to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Swansea City midfielder Leroy Fer has called for improvements after the team lost 2-1 to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

The 26-year-old pulled a goal back for the Swans in the 80th minute after trailing 2-0 following goals from Jamie Vardy and Wes Morgan.

However, it was not enough to lead a comeback as Francesco Guidolin's side recorded their second Premier League defeat on the bounce.

"From 2-0 behind we got a good goal at the right time," BBC Sport quotes Fer as saying. "We tried to score the second goal and we were strong in the end. I think we were unlucky but we can't concede goals like [Leicester's second] from a corner.

"We keep saying it but keep doing it. We have to get better than that because if you concede those goals it can make a massive difference.

"We need to keep believing and do what what we did in last 20 minutes, when we could have made it 2-2 ,and take that into the next game."

Swansea will welcome Chelsea to the Liberty Stadium on September 11 after the international break.
