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.
Joe Rodon, Marc Guehi and Ben Cabango formed an inexperienced back three in front of 23-year-old goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
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.
