Francesco Guidolin said that Swansea played very well in their 1-1 draw against Manchester City and the Italian felt a draw was the right result

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin thanked the Swansea fans for chanting his name during the 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

The Swans confirmed earlier this week that Guidolin will remain as head coach after agreeing a two-year contract having guided them to Premier League safety.

Guidolin was delighted with the reception he got from the home faithful, who sung their appreciation for the work he has done since joining the club in February.

"Last Saturday was a surprise for me to hear the fans signing my name at West Ham - today, it was another one. This is important and I'm happy to hear it but my players deserve this atmosphere as they work very hard in this period and they played well in the last period."

In Manuel Pellegrini's last game as manager before Pep Guardiola takes over in the summer, Man City took an early lead through Kelechi Iheanacho but a deflected Andre Ayew free-kick levelled the scores right on half-time.
