Swansea 1-2 Liverpool: Reds seal fourth straight Premier League win as Roberto Firmino header and late James Milner penalty completes comeback

Liverpool moved up to second in the Premier League after James Milner's 84th-minute penalty secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea broke the deadlock after eight minutes as Liverpool's weakness from set pieces was once more exposed with Leroy Fer prodding home from close range despite claims for offside.

But Roberto Firmino brought the visitors level with a firm downward header nine minutes into the restart, and after the Brazilian was bundled to the ground by Angel Rangel, James Milner kept his cool to slot home the resultant penalty to seal a fourth straight Premier League win.
