Paulo Sousa was a naturally delighted man after watching his side topple the league leaders

The Swansea City boss saw his side complete a difficult four days on the road with a more than credible four points with the win at the league leaders thanks to Craig Beattie's strike.

The win that moved the Swans into the top half of the table was hailed by Sousa as an important one that will extend the confidence that is spreading through the camp.

Speaking after the game, Sousa said "To win away against the top team in the table is an important night for me

"It was an important three points for us, it gives us a lot more confidence.

"When you win an important game like this one, an away game, against the team that's top of the table, a team that is going for promotion, it is always important.

"It tells us we are in a good way and this is what we wanted.

"When you get victories, you get more conviction and more confidence.

"Craig's one of the players who is improving a lot but everyone has got a job and when everyone does their job it helps us to score

"And for Craig, as a striker, you need to score and if you score then it's important for your confidence."
