PAST MEETINGS: Swans v Manchester United

 

The Swans made history with this victory claiming a first league double over Manchester United.

Ander Herrera's low strike put the visitors ahead, but the hosts responded as Ki Sung-Yueng flicked in from Jonjo Shelvey's cross.

United stepped up the tempo in the second half but failed to test Lukasz Fabianski in the Swans goal.

And that allowed a 73rd-minute strike from Shelvey to take a deflection off Bafe Gomis on its way past David de Gea to hand Swansea a memorable victory.

 

SWANS: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Cork, Shelvey (Amat, 90), Sigurdsson (Montero, 74), Routledge, Gomis.

The Swans earned a famous draw against Manchester United after a battling performance at the Liberty.

The visitors went ahead when Patrice Evra headed home from a Robin van Persie corner, but Swansea levelled matters before the break thanks to a close-rang strike from Michu.

United pressed for a winner in the second half - hitting the woodwork twice - but the Swans held firm to earn a deserved point.

A first-half strike from Javier Hernandez was enough to give United all three points at the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans gave the ball away deep inside their half and Ryan Giggs crossed from the left for Hernandez to tap home on 11 minutes.

Scott Sinclair wasted an excellent chance for the hosts but he miscued his shoot from inside the box.

Swansea pushed for an equaliser in the second half, but United looked threatening on the counter attack as Phil Jones struck the post late on.

 

SWANS: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Gower (Dobbie, 79), Routledge (Allen, 46), Dyer, Sinclair, Graham.
