Francesco Guidolin says a draw would have been a fair result against Liverpool

Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin vowed to fight on after another defeat cast further doubt over his future at the Liberty Stadium.

James Milner converted a late penalty to give Liverpool a 2-1 win over the Swans after Roberto Firmino's header had cancelled out Leroy Fer's early effort for the hosts.

When asked if he felt he could lose his job after this latest setback, the Italian told Sky Sports: "I don't know. This is not my decision.

Despite the result, Guidolin was pleased with his side's first-half performance at the Liberty Stadium, and insists the club can get out of the situation they are in.

"We have a good team but are not in a good moment. We have all the possibility to change the situation.

"They gave me a good answer. My team played a very good game against a very strong team and I think a draw would have been the right result. We played better in the first half and in the second half Liverpool played better than we did."
