Outstanding performance
Swansea City•AttackerSwansea City secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Stoke City at the Liberty Stadium, with the turning point coming in the first half when Sorba Thomas received his marching orders. Thomas, who had already been booked for a foul in the 23rd minute, saw red just 13 minutes later after an argument with the referee. The numerical advantage allowed Swansea to control proceedings, with Zan Vipotnik breaking the deadlock eight minutes into the second half with a well-placed header from Josh Tymon's corner. Liam Cullen, introduced as a substitute in the 80th minute, sealed the victory in stoppage time to cap off a professional performance from the Swans. This result will boost Swansea's confidence as they look to climb the Championship table, while Stoke will rue their disciplinary lapses that cost them dearly in South Wales.
