Swansea City suffered a 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium to fall further adrift of safety in the bottom three of the Premier League.
The Swans were behind 18 minutes in when Alvaro Negredo scored the first of his two goals, picking his spot on the half-volley when spotted by Max Clayton.
Negredo's second came from the penalty spot after Jordi Amat brought down Adam Forshaw, sending Lukasz Fabianski the wrong way and putting his side well on their way to a fourth league win, before Marten de Roon added a killer third in the second half.

Aitor Karanka: "Against Southampton we were as good as them but didn't win, but against Liverpool they were much better than us in the second half. It was a tough day but we have to forget that. Especially on Saturday - it's an important game but I don't want to put pressure on as it's December and we are doing well. The performances have been good playing in the way we have, we will score goals. The main thing for us is to be as organised as a team."
Bob Bradley: "You look at the table, and games against teams that are closer to you do take on more importance. But I think we can all agree that every game is massive for us right now. We understand that the start to the season we have had, and the league position we are in, make it extra important every time we step on to the field. If we can put a little bit of a run together at some point, then all of a sudden we would be out of the bottom three."
