Swansea boss Paul Clement admits anxiety is causing his side to falter in bid for Premier League survival

Paul Clement accused of his Swansea team of playing with anxiety and warned them they will be in the Championship next season if they do not sort out their issues.

Swansea mustered only one shot on target in their defeat to West Ham, who ended a run of five successive defeats to leave the Welsh side third-from-bottom.

Swansea had the opportunity to reel Slave Bilic’s side to within two points of them, but instead let them move eight clear.

Clement conceded that the late defeat against Tottenham last week — when they were ahead with two minutes remaining but let in three — had taken its toll.
