Guidolin apologises to Taylor over switch

Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin insists he has no issues with Neil Taylor after substituting the defender in the first half of their 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Wales international Taylor, 27, was replaced by Modou Barrow after just 41 minutes as the Swans trailed 1-0.

The left-back looked furious as he left the pitch but Guidolin says the matter is resolved after he apologised.

"I'm sorry with Neil Taylor because I'm not used to changing a player before half-time," Guidolin said.

"If I waited three minutes, maybe it was better for him, but Mo [Barrow] was ready five minutes before and I decided to change.
