Roberts hailed for his heroics

The Wales wing-back opened the scoring with a deflected strike in the second minute before Andre Ayew’s late goal ensured the Welsh side moved to within two points of Championship leaders Norwich.

And Cooper was delighted with the way Roberts spearheaded the Swans’ recovery after their midweek defeat at Middlesbrough.

“He’s playing really well, he was as frustrated as anybody after Middlesbrough and he was determined to get it right, and he did that,” said Cooper.

“He was very sound defensively, which is really important with how I want my wingbacks to play, and then he was a real threat going forward.

“He scored and got in the box a few times and played some nice combinations, so I’m really pleased with Connor. I’m also very pleased with the result and large parts of the performance.

“It wasn’t easy because I don’t think any game is going to be in this schedule.
