Swansea managed to bounce back from their 2-2 draw with Wolves last weekend with a win over Bolton.
“That was a terrific performance against an established side, but the most impressive thing today was how we managed the pressure,” said Rodgers.
“We spoke in the week that in every game you will have moments, no matter how comfortable you are, where you have to manage the game.
“Last week we failed to do it and drew 2-2, but this week when Danny scored the own-goal to put them to 2-1 you then saw the difference in the team.
“We opened up the spaces, passed the ball and hid the ball from the opponents for five or 10 minutes and that’s something we had talked about that in the week, different ways to manage the pressure.
“Our best way to do that is to keep the ball and take the sting out of the game. We scored three and we could have had more so it is very satisfying.”
