Llorente’s two late goals won it for Swansea

Bob Bradley recorded his first win as Swansea manager after six games in charge. The Welsh outlet only just managed to edge past Crystal Palace in an electrifying nine-goal thriller. The Swans took a 3-1 lead after going a goal down but Alan Pardew’s side fought back to bring the score to 4-3 in their favour.

Swansea substitute Fernando Llorente came on to score the next two goals of the game as Bradley team earned themselves a vital three points.

There were more worrying signs for Palace, who have now lost their sixth game in a row. Alan Pardew stressed that his side needed to keep more clean sheets but they achieved nothing remotely close to that. Only goal difference keeps the Eagles out of the drop zone as things are looking more and more bleak for the London club.
