Ben Cabango | Our own errors cost us

Ben Cabango admitted Swansea City's own errors had left them too much to do, despite a spirited late fightback against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Semi Ajayi opened the scoring for West Brom midway through the first half, before Carl Rushworth produced a fantastic reaction save to tip Darnell Furlong’s effort from close range onto the post, only for the keeper to suffer the misfortune of the ball ricocheting back onto him and into the net.

John Swift then converted from the spot to leave the Swans with a mountain to climb.

However, the visitors mounted a late comeback. Harry Darling headed in from a corner with 16 minutes remaining before setting up Nathan Wood for a second, while Wood also had one cleared off the line and Jerry Yates hit the crossbar.

Cabango himself had a chance to snatch a point for the Swans when he headed narrowly wide in injury time, but ultimately they fell short of completing an incredible recovery.

And he and his teammates were left ruing the costly lapses that ended up denying them a result away from home.

“They scored two set-piece goals and a penalty, so we really let ourselves down on that,” said Cabango.

“We’ve been working on them, but we need to get better at them because it’s cost us the game.

“The positive is that towards the end we did look a threat and we didn’t let our heads go down we went 3-0 behind. We pushed right until the end and we made a lot of chances.

“In the second half, we got a lot of momentum and it felt like we could get something from set-pieces.

“We looked a real threat from set-pieces. Harry was getting on the end of a lot of them and I thought I’d scored at the end to be honest.

“We could have come out with something in the end, but unfortunately we didn’t.

“But overall it was disappointing, but we’ll get ready for the next game now.

“With no midweek game, this will be an important week for us and hopefully we can round it off with three points next Saturday.”
