Sunderland game 'like a final' - Amat

Swansea City defender Jordi Amat says their home game against Premier League relegation rivals Sunderland will be like a "final."

Swansea's 5-0 defeat at Tottenham and Sunderland's win over champions Leicester City means Bob Bradley's side are bottom of the league.

Sunderland are two points ahead of Swansea in the relegation zone and visit the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

"It's one of the most important games of the season," said Amat.

"We have to learn from [the Spurs game] and be ready for next week because it's a final."

Saturday's heavy defeat at White Hart Lane ended Swansea' two match unbeaten run which had seen them draw 1-1 at Everton and beat Crystal Palace 5-4.
