  "account": "Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos expressed disappointment after his team suffered a 5-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, their heaviest loss in his tenure. Richard Kone scored a hat-trick in the first 15 minutes, while centre-back Jimmy Dunne netted two goals from set-pieces. Despite remaining in the Championship's automatic promotion spots, Matos acknowledged the team's poor performance, stating that all at Swansea must learn lessons from this and bounce back from their current situation. The Swans, who had only lost two of their previous 11 league games, were noticeably lacking in resilience as Kone's treble and Dunne's set-piece goals secured the victory for Rangers. The defeat marked the worst league result for Swansea since a 5-0 loss to Southampton in December 2023. Matos also revealed that winger Moussa Yeo was out of the match due to a hamstring injury, sidelining him for two to three weeks. This comes after fellow winger Ronald was ruled out for up to eight weeks with a hamstring injury.",
