Comments:

League position: 16th This was Swansea City's first win in eight Premier League games so ending their worst such run since December 2013 / January 2014. Ki Sung-Yeung became only the fifth different player to score for the Swans in the Premier League in this season. Only three goals had now been scored in the four games that City had played in the Premier League on a Boxing Day.

Comments:

League position: 13th West Bromwich Albion were now without a win in their last five Premier League games (lost two); their worst such run under manager Tony Pulis. The Baggies had now won only one of ten Premier League games they had played on a Boxing Day (lost seven). They had now conceded at least one goal in each of their last eight Premier League games.
