(Reuters) - Swansea City were punished for making too many basic errors against a lethal Liverpool side, caretaker manager Leon Britton said after their 5-0 Premier League defeat at Anfield. The Welsh side's defensive errors also contributed to the Merseyside club's next three goals and Britton criticised his side's sloppy performance. "You cannot make basic errors, whether that's your set-up at set-pieces, second balls or misplaced passes, because you give yourselves no chance," Britton told reporters after the match. "But if you make basic errors that you would expect to see in academy football, a team like Liverpool are going to punish you." "We are bottom of the league and confidence is low in the team," Britton added.
