Monk expresses sympathy for Sherwood

Garry Monk says his Swansea City side deserved their 2-1 win at Aston Villa despite falling behind, and has sympathy for Tim Sherwood.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk said he feels for Aston Villa counterpart Tim Sherwood after his side came from behind to condemn its host to a sixth successive Premier League defeat.

A late goal from Andre Ayew completed the comeback for the Swans after Ayew's brother Jordan had opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal.

Gylfi Sigurdsson had earlier equalized with a trademark free kick and Monk said his team deserved the win.
