Swansea City boss Luke Williams has hailed the work of Alan Sheehan in delivering the match-winning set-piece routine against Hull City on Saturday.

The Swans picked up the first league win of Williams' reign at the MKM Stadium, with Liam Cullen's effort from Josh Tymon's low corner proving to be the decisive strike during what was a superb away performance.

And Williams has revealed the move was the brainchild of his first-team coach.

"There were quite a few things I liked about that performance," he said. "The openings we made were very deliberate. We tried to make the moves to put the ball in the right place and I think we did that pretty well.

"Then I loved that Alan Sheehan gave us this work of art of a set-piece. The players listened to everything he asked them to do and delivered it perfectly and scored. I'm happy we've scored a goal away from home against a very good team and the back line dictated the distance of the team. They didn't allow the team to become deep and try to protect the lead too much. They kept us aggressive. They kept us up the pitch and so I'm really happy with that.

"When you're head coach and at the tactical session and you get to just stand at the side of the goal and watch Alan go to work with the setpieces and watch the players concentrate. It's a privilege to witness it. It's an incredible tool to have as a head coach.

"We have such experience in the staff, and that can win you a game of football."

Meanwhile, Williams has played down concerns over Kyle Naughton ahead of Tuesday's clash with Leeds United.

The 35-year-old was forced off midway through the second half at the MKM Stadium, potentially adding to the club's injury crisis, with Josh Key, Harrison Ashby and Harry Darling already on the treatment table.

"I think he has cramp," he added. "Hopefully when it settles down we won't have a problem and there's not a tear or something like that.

"But what a player. What a player. For sure [he's in contention], because if it's cramp he's going to recover very quickly from that and he'll be ready to go again.

"If it's something more serious then I'll let you know, but let's hope it's cramp and he can recover quickly because he's such a talented player."
