Comments:

League position: 16th Aston Villa had now won only one in their last eight Premier League meetings with the Swans. They had now failed to score in 17 of their 30 Premier League matches in this season. Victory would have given the Villans three league wins in a row, last achieved in April 2010.

Comments:

League position: 8th This was Swansea City's 12th Premier League win of the season so equalling the club record achieved by Brendan Rodgers' team in 2011-12. The Swans' last four Premier League away wins have been by a 1-0 scoreline. They had yet to score more than two goals in a Premier League game since their 3-0 win against West Bromwich Albion on 30 August 2014. Nelson Oliveira replaced Bafetimbi Gomis in the second minute of added time in the second half.
