BPL Game 27: Swansea (A)

My favourite team, at home. Well, I have to put my love for Swansea to one side and hope that my boys can do a job at the Liberty. Twelfth placed Swansea have won 1 of their last 5 Premier League games, losing 1 and drawing 3. I haven't lost in the Premier League since September (now in February). Not bad...
In other news, Reading have to beat Man Utd... Oh. My. Word.

After International games, I've decided to field this team, as it is my strongest (well, it'd be stronger if Fellaini was starting, but tbh, in his form... impact sub!) Lol.

PS: If I win/draw, I will beat the current unbeaten run record of 28 games. All to play for then...

GAME ON!!!

23m: From the throw on the right, Sagna and the Ox exchange passes before Sagna thumps a ball across goal. Shot by Schurrle beats Vorm... but he's ruled offside. Never mind.
30m: GOAL!!! It's Giroud again!!! Can this man NOT score?! Schurrle latches on to a long ball, drives a cross in to Olivier's head and bang on! 1-0
HT
52m: Frimpong picks up his 2nd yellow... again. Serious words are going to be had here... Tello tired so he's replaced by Fellaini who fills in the empty midfield spot, Ox goes out to the wing.
64m: Ox not looking too fit either now, slight knock I think. On comes Santi
83m: Swansea with a freekick, Britton sends it in and Routledge blasts it wide. Holding on. Still 1-0
90m: Last minute of normal play before a 3m injury time. Second freekick to me after Ki fouled Fellaini (twice!). Sagna takes it and gets it to Santi who gets behind Taylor, crosses in and the other man-of-the-moment scores the header, just after getting fouled! Fellaini makes it 2-0 and that looks like the game is won!
FT
A great victory with 10 men. I think my issues with Diaby will be solved when he comes back from his loan spell. Ramsey will now feature a lot more. Frimpong... I may drop him to the reserves. But, positives! We won,  now leading the Barclays Premier League (for now. Man Utd have a better goal difference... boo).
