Queens Park Rangers secured a 1-0 victory over Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium, with Steve Cook’s second half volley sealing the win for the visitors.
Despite having several chances to score themselves, Swansea City couldn’t find the back of the net. Matt Grimes hit the crossbar and Aimar Govea was denied by the woodwork, while Jerry Yates, Ollie Cooper, and Ronald couldn’t convert their opportunities.
The frustration for Swansea was compounded when Cook’s strike with 19 minutes remaining gave Queens Park Rangers the decisive goal.
Luke Williams spoke about his side’s need to improve in front of goal in his post-match reaction.
Swansea City made four changes from the draw at Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday, with Joe Allen, Yates, Jamal Lowe, and Cooper coming into the starting line-up.
Next up for the Swans is the long trip to Middlesbrough on Saturday, 6 April.
