Swansea City have defeated West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium to climb off the foot of the Premier League table, courtesy of a late Wilfried Bony goal.
The game took time to settle into a pattern, with the two out-of-form sides clearly struggling for confidence in the early stages.
Jay Rodriguez was responsible for the first shot of the afternoon, which arrived 21 minutes in and barely tested Lukasz Fabianski down the middle.
Swansea have badly struggled for goals this term and they did their scoring woes did not look like changing on the basis of the opening 30 minutes, though they did give supporters some hope close to half time.
From a free kick in a promising position, Tom Carroll sent the ball over the wall - via a small touch off Jake Livermore - and against the foot of the post.
