Swansea City: Steve Cooper praises young rearguard after Preston win

Head coach Steve Cooper paid tribute to his youthful defence after Swansea City began the new Championship season with a 1-0 win at Preston North End.

And as Woodman claimed a first clean sheet of the season, a debut goal from Morgan Gibbs-White was enough to give the Swans three points.
