Ben Cabango ‘would love’ Alan Sheehan as full-time Swansea boss

Cabango said it was “a great feeling” to hit Swansea’s 58th-minute winner at Sunderland.

But he also relished a third successive clean sheet as part of their rearguard.

“I feel like we’re loving defending as a team right now. Everyone’s just giving it everything,” Cabango said.

“We’re recovering well. If there’s a mistake, we’re always backing each other up and it’s a good feeling that we’ve just got that foundation so we can build on it.

“We’ve got to appreciate the blocks because they’re always key moments in games and I feel like, when you do appreciate them, people want to do it more and we want to throw our bodies on the line and keep them clean sheets.”

Cabango also believes winning at promotion contenders Sunderland and drawing 2-2 at leaders Leeds United in March shows they can “definitely” compete with the division’s best.

“They’re two one of the hardest places to go in the league and the performances we’ve showed here (Sunderland), we’ve not just sat in, we’ve actually created chances, especially in the Leeds game,” he added.

“I think we were a bit more penned in (at Sunderland), but we’re showing we have that quality when we do get the chances and we put them away, and we’re hard to break down.”
