Garry Monk: 'We cannot rest on our laurels'

Swansea City boss Garry Monk feels that his side have to use their victory over Manchester United last week as a springboard to further success this season.

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has insisted that his side cannot rest on their laurels ahead of their Premier League clash against Burnley.

The Swans recorded a historic league double over Manchester United last week as they claimed a 2-1 victory over the Red Devils.

Monk is adamant that his side have to use that win as a springboard for further success as they approach the latter half of the season.

He told reporters: "It's a big motivation for us. We have to now use that and go on and do well. We know it will be an extremely tough game and that it won't be easy.

"Burnley are a very fit and intense team to play against. We have to be ready for the battle and match them in every way while also showing our quality.

"Of course last weekend was a fantastic result and performance. The players have obviously been full of confidence this week but we know that confidence can be taken away very quickly at this level."

Swansea are ninth in the Premier League going into the match at Turf Moor.
