Mason McClelland pleased with reaction from under-18s

Swansea City Under-18s' coach Mason McClelland was pleased with the reaction from the age-grade side as they returned to winning ways with victory at Hull City.

First-half goals from Aidan Higgins and Callum Deacon ensured the visitors claimed the spoils on their visit to Humberside.

And the head coach praised the work ethic and togetherness from the squad following a tough defeat against Burnley in their previous away fixture.

"This was a really positive reaction to Burnley and a really professional performance from start to finish," said McClelland.

"First and foremost the players worked relentlessly for 90 minutes and applied themselves very well, reaching maximum output.

"In possession the players showed much better decision making in terms of when to play through, around or over and then we had the quality to go with it.  

"We had the identity to play some really good football but it came hand in hand with strong leadership, accountability and the players drove each other in terms of their standards and performance.

"Overall it's a superb reaction, but now we must show a level of consistency which is required at the next level and keep pushing to the end of the season with two games remaining."
