Monk: More to come from Swansea

Garry Monk hopes Swansea City's draw at Chelsea was a sign of things to come after an impressive showing against the champion.

Garry Monk backed his Swansea City side to go "from strength to strength" after holding champion Chelsea to a 2-2 draw on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Swansea came from behind to secure a point at Stamford Bridge courtesy of an Andre Ayew strike on his Premier League debut and a Bafetimbi Gomis penalty. Oscar's free kick and a Federico Fernandez own goal had twice put Chelsea in front.

The visitors had chances to secure a first top-flight win over Chelsea following Thibaut Courtois' red card for upending Gomis, who tucked away the resulting spot kick 10 minutes after the break.
