[Folami David]

Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey struggled to conceal his emotions after taking a leading role at both ends of the pitch in the 2-2 Premier League draw with his former club Liverpool on Monday.
.
Shelvey opened the scoring for Swansea but two poor passes allowed Liverpool to take the lead before his neat header set up striker Michu for a second-half aqualiser.
.
"I just want to say sorry to the Swansea fans for the two bad mistakes that gifted Liverpool a draw and I thought we deserved more than that," Shelvey told Sky Sports.
.
Shelvey joined Swansea from Liverpool in July for £5 million.
.
"I did not really want to celebrate when I scored - I still have respect for the fans and loved every minute at Liverpool, but it is hard to contain emotions," he said.
.
"You just want to go into a hole where nobody can see you but it has happened to great players over time.
.
Shelvey broke forward in the second half to nod a neat pass into the path of striker Michu, who clipped the ball past Simon Mignolet to secure a point for Swansea.
.
"I showed a bit of character to keep getting on the ball," he said. "I still feel I have given Liverpool a draw but it was a great game to play in."
