Swansea's match-winner Ki Sung-yueng reveals 'two faces' of Carlos Carvalhal have inspired their push for Premier League safety

Ki Sung-yueng has revealed how the 'two faces' of Carlos Carvalhal have inspired Swansea's push for Premier League safety.

Swansea continued their remarkable renaissance with a 1-0 home win over Burnley on Saturday, Ki striking late on from 20 yards to claim his first goal since May 2016.

Incredibly, Swansea's 14 points in Carvalhal's seven games in charge eclipse the 13 that the Portuguese's predecessor Paul Clement managed in the first 20.

'He is a great gentleman and very witty,' Ki said of former Sheffield Wednesday manager Carvalhal, whose colourful metaphors have brought a sense of fun to the Premier League.
