Result: Swansea City, Bournemouth play out stalemate

Swansea City and Bournemouth play out a goalless draw in Saturday's Premier League encounter at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea City and Bournemouth have played out a goalless draw in Saturday's Premier League encounter at the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans had succumbed to four defeats in a row prior to their game against the Cherries, putting pressure on manager Paul Clement.

However, the Welsh outfit played admirably against Eddie Howe's side and, although the points were shared, the Swans were on top for most of the game.

Bournemouth began brightly and were first to get a chance in as Joshua King shrugged off the challenge of Roque Mesa and crossed for Marc Pugh to produce a tame effort.

Swansea responded swiftly and drew gasps from the home crowd when Jordan Ayew ghosted beyond the opposition defence and fired an effort from a tight angle that struck the crossbar.

Clement's side managed to get the ball into the back of the net late in the first half when Wilfried Bony fired home off the underside of the bar.

However, the Ivorian's celebrations were cut short by referee Stuart Attwell, who deemed Ayew's challenge on Nathan Ake in the build-up to be too aggressive.

Leroy Fer then squandered a gilt-edged opportunity to win the game for the hosts with seven minutes remaining when he blasted wide after his initial shot had been saved by Asmir Begovic.

The result sees Swansea remain in the Premier League's dropzone in 19th place, while Bournemouth move up to 12th in the table.

Swansea (4-1-2-1-2): Fabianski; Naughton, Van der Hoorn, Mawson, Olsson; Mesa; Ki, Carroll; Sanches (Fer 71'); Bony, Ayew (Abraham 84')

Bournemouth (4-4-2): Begovic; Smith, S. Cook, Ake, Daniels; Ibe (Gosling 88'), Surman, Arter (L. Cook 90+4'), Pugh; King, Wilson (Afobe 79')
