STEVE Cooper believes his Swansea side still have room to improve, despite their impressive win over leaders Norwich.
Andre Ayew put the Welsh side in front in the first half, before they proved their promotion credentials in the second period.
On-loan midfielder Conor Hourihane scored his third goal in three matches since arriving at Swansea from Aston Villa.
“We’re growing game by game and day by day, we’re a work in progress and nowhere near the end,” said Cooper.
“But it was a really good win and performance. We were good at times with the ball, we looked like getting in positions to create and score after a few passes.
“You can’t put too much expectation on the lads, because they weren’t there at the start of the season and they’re still not there with 19 games to go.
