Swansea fought tooth and nail to eke out a draw

The Welsh club have endured a rather tough few weeks as they have slipped down the league table with losses against Hull City, Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham and Watford since the start of March.

However, they put their troubles behind them as they took on the mighty Manchester United at Old Trafford and came away with a draw. The Welsh side looked the sharper of the two units during the opening exchanges of the game and constantly troubled United with their industry. When they did go down in the game, courtesy a controversial penalty, Swansea still did not yield and fought back valiantly.

While a point will not prove sufficient for the Paul Clement-led unit to climb out of the relegation zone (they are currently 18th with 32 points, 2 behind 17th placed Hull City), it would improve the mood in the camp. Their remaining three games are against Everton (Home), Sunderland (Away) and West Bromwich Albion (Home) and after this result, the side will believe they have a chance of avoiding relegation.
