Swansea's aerial battering ram Llorente breaks down Burnley defence

Swansea overcame the worst refereeing call of the season to beat Burnley 3-2 in an unexpected goal fest on Saturday.

Positives

A lot of teams would have struggled to keep their heads up after Anthony Taylor's baffling penalty decision. Swansea went one better, channelling their sense of injustice and hammering Burnley for the rest of the match. The Welsh club out-shot their opponents 23 to six on the day and ended just winners. That kind of tenacity just hasn't been seen in Swansea before and if Paul Clement can keep their sense of purpose this sharp, his side will soar away from the relegation fight in the coming weeks.
