Swansea suffer late heartbreak
Just when Swansea thought they had finally overcome their recent daemons, with an injury-time strike by Bafetimbi Gomis, Kelechi Iheanacho replied immediately with a goal to steal the points for the home side and move them, temporarily at least, to the top of the Premier League, with Leicester having the chance to return to the top on Monday.
Alan Curtis thought he had steered Swansea City to a well-deserved point at the Etihad when Gomis struck late on, as he took temporary charge of the Swans who had sacked boss Garry Monk on Wednesday. But their fight for safety suffered a late set back when Yaya Toure’s deflected effort hit Iheanacho and sailed in.
Swansea are now without a win in six games, with their last victory coming away to Aston Villa back in October. Since the Swans’ promotion to the Premier League in 2011, this is arguably the toughest period they have had to deal with, after impressing the league with their style of football and earning many admirers in recent years.
It is now up to the new boss to get them back into winning ways with immediate effect, whoever that may be, to ensure they don’t slip into a serious relegation battle.
