Bob Bradley lands 1st win as Swansea City manager

LONDON (AP) - After a difficult introduction to English Premier League management, Bob Bradley's wait for a win is over.

Swansea's players couldn't achieve it the easy way for their trail-blazing American coach.

In the sixth game of his reign on Saturday, Swansea tossed away a 3-1 lead against Crystal Palace to head into stoppage time trailing 4-3.

Displaying the fighting spirit Swansea has lacked this season, Fernando Llorente found time to score twice and complete a wild 5-4 victory that lifted the south Wales club off the bottom of the standings.

"It's a crazy match, and it's very important for us," Llorente said.
