Ashley Williams was hailing the young Swansea defence which kept it’s 8th clean sheet of the season at Newcastle on Saturday

Williams, Steve Caulker, Neil Taylor and Jazz Richards held strong to keep Newcastle at bay for 90 minutes to earn the Swans another valuable point on their quest for Premier League safety.

And after the game, Williams saidย โ€œJazz hasnโ€™t got loads of experience but heโ€™s doing an excellent job at right-back.

โ€œMe and Tayls have been there all season and itโ€™s been going well.

โ€œCaulks is only 19 but heโ€™s an absolute beast, heโ€™s got a lot to learn like we all have but he is a great player.

โ€œHe is such a big lad and for someone of 19 to be that brave on the ball in the Premier League takes a lot of courage.

โ€œI thought Demba Ba was excellent. He was quick, had a good touch and you can see he is very clever in the way that he plays,โ€ added Williams.

โ€œAs a centre-half itโ€™s always pleasing to get a clean sheet and especially when it comes on the road.

โ€œIt was a resilient display and they are the type of games you need in a campaign if you are going to do well.โ€

โ€œWe didnโ€™t playย our normal stuff but we dug in, made it very hard for them and deserved a point in the end.โ€
