MIDDLESBROUGH, England -- Swansea stayed in the English Premier League relegation zone as Bob Bradleys team again performed badly away from home, losing to Middlesbrough 3-0 on Saturday.The Welsh side has conceded 11 goals in its last three away league games -- scoring only once -- and is three points from safety.When I came here I knew what I was getting into and Im not backing down from it now, Bradley said. Thats the challenge -- when the team has put itself in a tough spot everybody has got to stick together during the toughest times and fight the fight.I put pressure on myself to see if we can make the team stronger and fight for points every week, and I will continue to do that.Alvaro Negredo scored two first-half goals as Middlesbrough coasted to a win over its relegation rival at Riverside Stadium.Negredos early brace and a 58th-minute effort from Marten de Roon sunk the below-par Swans.Bradleys men were second best throughout, giving Negredo space in the box to swing home an 18th-minute opener before Jordi Amat tripped Adam Forshaw to set up Negredos second from the spot.The visitors got the third they deserved just before the hour mark when Marten de Roon converted a cross from Negredo.Its the same story, said Bradley, the former U.S. coach hired by Swansea in October. We started OK, we felt the energy and confidence but on their first real look at goal we went down.We talked about our ability to hold things together, but their second goal came after a strange mix-up over whose throw it was, the next thing its a penalty and weve put ourselves in a big hole.Middlesbrough moved up three spots to 14th, with six more points than Swansea, which dropped a place to 19th out of 20.For the first time today we didnt take care of business against a team that is right around us in the table, Bradley said. Now weve got to look at our next two home matches (against West Ham and Bournemouth) because winning home matches in this battle is going to be the real key. Matt Kemp Jersey .

For the second time in a year, Martin Taupau has earned a new contract away on Kiwi duty.Despite having a further three years to go on his current NRL deal, Manly moved to tie down their star forward for an extra season on Tuesday, making him a Sea Eagle until the end of 2020.Marty loves the club and wanted to commit for a long term because he likes the direction we are going, coach Trent Barrett said on Tuesday.He is a tremendous competitor, great trainer, and a player willing to do the things to make himself better. He will be a key player for Manly in the years ahead.The extension comes almost a year after his move from Wests Tigers to Manly was infamously confirmed by a Canadian theatre critic while on tour with New Zealand.Taupau is currently in Perth preparing for the Kiwis Test against Australia on Saturday, but was nonetheless delighted to secure his long-term future at the club.I am very happy with this extension of my contract. I thoroughly enjoyed my first season with the Sea Eagles this year, he said.There is a lot to like about the direction the team is heading in. Trent Barrett is a wonderful coach and I look forward to further developing my game under him.ddddddddddddTaupau, 26, averaged 142 metres in his 20 games for the Sea Eagles in 2016, including four line breaks, 32 offloads and 58 tackle breaks.His re-signing comes in the same week brothers Jake and Tom Trbojevic also penned extensions until 2020.Sea Eagles head of football Bob Fulton called Taupau one of the premier forwards in the game.And he will only get better, Fulton said.We are delighted to have him for another four years and his contract now has him in line in terms of length with the Trbojevic brothers Jake and Tom.They, along with half-back Daly Cherry-Evans, will form the basis of a very strong team long term for the club.While the Taupau announcement is a coup for the club, the focus remains on the immediate future of injured veterans Brett Stewart (knee) and Steve Matai (neck).Both continue to be monitored through their rehabilitation.It remains to be seen whether either player will see out their contract in 2017.
