Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal was very satisfied with his side's reaction as they equalised with fellow strugglers West Brom on Saturday.
Jay Rodriguez put bottom-of-the-league West Brom in front in the second-half, but Swansea responded to claim an equaliser in the last fifteen minutes.
West Brom are currently playing under interim manager Darren Moore following the departure of Alan Pardew in April.
Carvalhal spoke to 'Sky Sports' after the match, he said: ''I am [pleased with a point]. We expected a difficult game with a change of manager. The [West Brom] players are in a difficult positions, and they made things difficult.''
Although the 'Swans' boss also noted: ''We must do better when we're on the ball, in the first half we knew that. In the second half, it was still the same, but after the goal, we reacted.''
Tammy Abraham scored his first league goal since October and earnt Swansea a point. Carvalhal praised the squad's drive and performance after West Brom initially pushed ahead.
He said: ''The team when we were losing 1-0 is more my team. It was more aggressive and they weren't afraid. The big lesson we take is that we must play from the beginning, like we played after we conceded the first goal.''
