The Swans secured their third successive victory over Manchester United with a 2-1 victory at the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans came from behind to earn a first league double over Manchester United in a thrilling contest at the Liberty.
In an even first half, the visitors edged ahead when Ander Herrera fired a low shot into the bottom corner after neat build-up play on the edge of the box.
But the lead was short-lived as the hosts hit back immediately, Ki Sung-Yueng turning home a teasing cross from Jonjo Shelvey to draw the Swans level.
United upped the tempo after the break but were made to pay with just under 15 minutes to play as Shelvey's shot from 25 yards took a touch off Bafetimbi Gomis as it flew past David de Gea.

Swans 1 Manchester United 1
Premier League - Sunday, December 23, 2012

The Swans claimed a hard-fought and deserved point as they came from behind to hold Manchester United at the Liberty.
Patrice Evra had headed the visitors ahead in the 15th minute but Michu tapped home to level on the half-hour mark for his 13th Barclays Premier League goal to make him the top-flight's top scorer.
Both sides went close to a winner, Robin van Versie struck the woodwork while Michael Carrick saw his header touched onto the crossbar by the returning Michel Vorm.
Ashley Williams, man of the match against Tottenham Hotspur the previous week, made a number of blocks in the heart of defence but Wayne Routledge and Kemy Agustien also threatened at either ends.
But in the end, the Swans were happy to add another point to their tally - now 24 - as they remained 11th and nine points clear of third-bottom Wigan going into the post-Christmas Day fixtures with Reading and Fulham.
