Jack Cork and Gylfi Sigurdsson are of the firm opinion that it is only a matter of time before Swansea start climbing up the table.

An 11th match without a league win dropped Swansea to the bottom of the table on Saturday when they were denied a win thanks to an 89th-minute Everton equaliser at Goodison Park.

But the spirit shown at the weekend makes Cork believe it will not be long before Bob Bradley is celebrating the first win of his tenure.

"We were all a little disappointed after the game because we felt like we should have won," Cork told the club's website.

"We had a good first half and in the second half it was always going to be difficult as the away side.

"Hopefully this can be a bit of a kickstart for us this season. We have the big home game against Crystal Palace next week and hopefully we can get going.

"We have to stick together now and work hard in the next game, just as we did against Everton. Hopefully then the rewards will come."

Sigurdsson's thoughts have also turned to the home game against Palace on 26 November. 

"It's a huge game for us and we need to build on this point today and hopefully go on a run because we need the points desperately," he said.

"If we play like we did in the first half we will be fine. Defensively we were rock solid, and going forward we looked dangerous."
