Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup admits a poor first half performance may have cost his side in their 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia.
The Swans needed just a point to qualify for the next round of the Europa League, but couldn't find an equaliser in an improved second half display, with their boss concluding that they were a bit unlucky on the night.
He said: "I think in the first half they were better than us. They didn't create that many chances but they dominated.

"I think things changed completely in the second half, we had one more in midfield and created much more.

"With a little more luck we could have got that point that would have got us through."
