Jisung Eom pleased to make key contribution from the bench

Jisung Eom was glad to have made an important impact off the bench as he scored Swansea City’s winning goal against Derby County barely 15 minutes after his introduction.

The South Korea international snuck in at the far post to meet an inswinging cross with 11 minutes to play, settling a contest that was often a tense, cagey affair.

Swansea made sure they claimed an 11th clean sheet of the season, and Eom made no mistake when given the chance to net his second goal in black and white from Josh Key's delivery.

And Eom was happy to have been able to reward a gritty team effort by slotting home the only foal of the game.

"It was a very tough game, and once I got on I made a positive impact. I'm very happy that I was able to come on and score the winning goal," said Eom.

"I haven't scored many goals, so to get my second of the season is a positive, and to celebrate in front of the fans is always an amazing feeling. 

"Josh Key's cross was amazing, and I arrived at the right time and managed to finish it off. 

"It was a real team performance, and we defended well to keep the scoreline at 1-0. We definitely have areas to work on before Wednesday's game but it's a great result for the boys and a huge three points for us. 

"The buzz around the stadium and changing room is great, we want to reproduce that feeling against Plymouth Argyle."
