Reaction from Swansea manager Bob Bradley after the 1-1 draw at Everton

Bob Bradley does not want his Swansea City side to dwell too long on their 1-1 draw with Everton despite the result leaving them bottom of the Premier League.

Swansea appeared to be heading for their first league win since the opening day of the season, but Seamus Coleman headed in an 89th-minute equaliser for Everton.

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored from the spot to put Swansea ahead as Bradley made eight changes to the side that lost to Manchester United a fortnight ago.

It looked like the heavily altered line-up would deliver Bradley his first win, but instead the American was left questioning how they left Goodison Park with only a point

Everton 1-1 Swansea

"I understand that seeing games through is a big challenge in the Premier League. You've got to take care of business, clear balls and react a little quicker," Bradley told Sky Sports.

"There were parts that we feel good about, there was more intensity. In the first half, there was better periods of stringing passes together.

"In the second half, Everton went a little more direct and in some of those moments I felt our decision-making could have been better, but we must push ourselves along."

"Changes aren't made for no reason. Changes are made to try and get the group that is at the highest level. I think today is a step."

Bradley aimed to look at the positives for Swansea, even though Sunderland's win against Hull City saw his side move bottom of the table.

"We still need to understand after 12 games that we're nowhere near where we need to be. Looking backwards only gets you so far," Bradley added.

"26 to play. Positives to play. We've got to march on."
