Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin was left unhappy after his side drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace

​Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin was left unhappy after his side drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace, and felt they should have had more than a point for their efforts.

Gylfi Sigurdsson put the home side ahead with a fine free-kick in the Premier League clash at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, but they were pegged back in the second half by Scott Dann.

"I'm not happy because in my opinion, my team played very well for 90 minutes and we had many possibilities to score," Guidolin told Sky Sports.

"We always had control of the ball and we attacked for many minutes. Crystal Palace played well and are a good team with many players who are very strong in the air. 

"It was a good match but I think Swansea played better."

The result means that Guidolin is still unbeaten after three games in charge, having won his first match at Everton then drawn at West Brom in midweek.

And the Italian boss felt that the display against Palace was the best he had seen from his side so far.
