Comments:

League position: 17th In going above Hull City to lift themselves out of the bottom three with two games to play, Swansea City completed a run of three consecutive games without defeat for the first time in this Premier League season. The Swans had now won consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since May 2016. Fernando Llorente had now scored 13 goals in a league season for the first time since 2013-14 when he scored 16 goals in Serie A for Juventus. Swansea City manager Paul Clement said: "It is one of my proudest moments. What a fantastic, gritty performance. It was so important we got that result after what happened at Hull. We have hit some form both offensively and especially defensively. We have played against really good opposition and seven points from three games is a fantastic tally."

League position: 7th Everton lost a league game in Wales for the first time since 1 December 1956 at Cardiff City in League Division One. The Toffees had now failed to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2006. This was the first time they lost an away game in the Premier League against a team that started the game in the relegation zone since 17 November 2012 at Reading. Everton manager Ronald Koeman said: "It was not good enough. The difference is one goal, we had maybe more ball possession, it was difficult to create open chances. The final part, we had to be a little bit more aggressive in the box."
