Liam Cullen aims to feast against Finland this week after devouring Cardiff City thanks to Swansea’s head chef. The Swans striker revealed he was inspired by Chris Watkins, who cooked up an inspiring pre-match team talk, not long after serving his regular eve-of-game pasta.

Normal service was resumed in the South Wales derby as Liam Cullen and Jamal Lowe scored the goals that barely reflected the total dominance of Swansea City over rivals Cardiff in a 2-0 home win. Despite arriving on the back of a four-match winning streak – a run that had prompted optimism around a late promotion surge – Cardiff were second best in every aspect. “We won in a really positive way and I can’t argue with the way we went about it today,” said Swans head coach Luke Williams.

Wales manager Rob Page insists he will leave it to the last possible moment to decide if Aaron Ramsey will be used against Finland in next week’s crunch Euro 2024 play-off semi-final. Ramsey was named in Wales’ squad on Wednesday, despite not starting a match for six months.

Luke Williams insists Swansea City are not sleep-walking back towards a relegation scrap. The Swans head coach saw his team lose 1-0 at Bristol City on Sunday, to bring a three-game unbeaten streak to an end.

Ronald – the Swansea City star who celebrates goals with Cristiano Ronaldo-style leaps into the air – insists there are more to come. The Brazilian winger scored twice as the Swans beat Sunderland 2-1 at the weekend at the Stadium of Light.

Luke Williams has ordered his Swansea City to be braver after a “timid” capitulation at home Leeds United plunged them back into relegation worries. The Swans were hammered 4-0 by Leeds United in another defensive horror show that could easily have been far more painful.

Liam Cullen has admitted Swansea City’s win at Hull City was a “massive” result for a club who looked as if they could be sliding towards a relegation scrap. The Swans striker scored the only goal of the game on Saturday to give head coach Luke Williams his first win in the Championship at the fifth attempt.

An upbeat Luke Williams believes Swansea City may have turned a corner after he gained his first Championship win since becoming head coach. Williams pinpointed a sense of belief in the dressing room after his team won 1-0 at promotion-chasing Hull City to give him his first league win at the fifth attempt. A well-taken strike from Liam Cullen proved the difference, although Swansea could easily have improved their lead in a largely dominant display.

Alan Sheehan says he expects the process of appointing a full-time manager at Swansea City to be completed this week. The caretaker boss insists the vacancy needs to be filled within days despite earning a 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion on New Year’s Day.

Alan Sheehan praised the character of his Swansea City side after they came from behind to secure a point in a 2-2 draw at Coventry City. The Swans had trailed 2-1 in stoppage time at the CBS Arena, but a strong finish to the contest was rewarded when Liam Cullen curled home a free-kick in the 93rd minute.

Michael Duff insists the fact that his Swansea City players scored a 94th minute equaliser against Huddersfield proves they “have not downed tools”. It may appear as a straw being clutched, but without Charlie Patino’s injury-time leveller to earn a 1-1 Championship draw with their fellow strugglers, it would have been much worse for the Swans.

Michael Duff blamed his players for “a mad 15 minutes” as they lost for the third time in five matches to drop to 17th in the Championship table. The Swans head coach pointed the finger at poor defending from set-pieces as they went down 3-2 at high-flying Ipswich Town.
