Norwich boss David Wagner says last night's Swansea defeat was a game the Canaries 'could have won', saying 'we didn't do our job'.

A goal from Gabriel Sara wasn't enough to get past the Swans, who took the lead just three minutes into the game through Jamal Lowe.

Bashir Humphreys sealed the win for the Welsh side after finding the net in the 83rd minute.

David Wagner made three changes to his starting 11, bringing in Tony Springett, Adam Forshaw and Hwang Ui-Jo.

Speaking after full time, Wagner said he was "very disappointed" after seeing his side fail to press home their advantage in the second half.

"We didn't do our job properly in each box, goals change games and we didn't take our chances," said Wagner.

"That's three away defeats in a row now and we lost a game that we could have won. We have to be better in both boxes.

"After two away defeats in a row we knew we had a chance to pick up some points in an important game. It was there for us, but we didn't do our job.

"Obviously the result is very disappointing. Performance-wise, first half we were not good, second half we were much better.

"Second half we have to kill the game. We had enough very good opportunities until 75-80 minutes.

"After that they put pressure on us with set-pieces. If you don't kill the game, then one situation can cost you.

"It's very frustrating that we were not clinical in both boxes today and have not won a game we had opportunities to win at 1-1."
