#10 Paul Clement can save Swansea City

Since the arrival of Paul Clement, Swansea City has certainly turned things around. In their last two Premier League games, the Swans have picked up all six points on offer. After a stunning 3-2 victory over Liverpool, it is now Southampton that has fallen to the Welsh team.

Swansea took the lead in the first half, but it was Shane Long who levelled things early in the second half. Swansea’s hero was yet again Gylfi Sigurdsson, who scored the winning goal. Manager Paul Clement certainly knows a thing or two about winning after his stints as the assistant manager in Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
