Rangel unfazed by Swans defeat

Angel Rangel: Believes Swansea have the mettle to bounce back strongly

Swansea defender Angel Rangel is convinced his team's confidence will not be dented by their first defeat of the new Premier League season.

Michael Laudrup's men were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa on Saturday after two wins and a draw in their opening three games.

But they lacked the attacking verve shown in their previous performances as goals from Matthew Lowton and Christian Benteke brought the high-flying Swans crashing back down to earth.

Now Rangel has tipped his wounded side to bounce back with a sharp response against Everton next weekend.

Reaction

"Every time we have lost a game we have reacted," said the Spaniard.

"Last season we had a losing streak of four games and then we were unbeaten for three. Hopefully we can get a good result against Everton.

"Everton are a good side, but our confidence is still high. We're disappointed, but it's still early in the season, we're playing good football and creating chances. I don't think it is going to affect us at all."
