Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin thinks Swansea are safe from relegation after hitting the 40-point mark.

Swansea ended Chelsea's unbeaten Premier League run under Guus Hiddink with a 1-0 victory at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Guus Hiddink says his side were not sharp enough in the final third and a poor defensive spell cost his side in their 1-0 defeat at Swansea.

"We know it is not completely done, but now I think we can see a way forward and are not looking behind. It is an important moment for the club. It is not easy. I want my team to be focused.

"This is a proud day for me and for the players. We need to finish the season well."

Guidolin took charge in January and the Italian has won six of his 12 matches to stave off the threat of relegation.

Matt Le Tissier gives his thoughts on Swansea's 1-0 win against Chelsea.

"I knew we could play this way but as a new manager I had to get to know my players and today I saw my team play as I want - with intensity, quality and aggression.

"We miss only one thing. We deserved to win by more and we should have scored a couple more in the first half.

"We have played well in other games - away to Everton and at home to Crystal Palace - but this was the best."
