Michu had an early sight of goal for the hosts, but after the ball fell kindly to him inside the box, he scuffed an effort wide of the post.

Midway through the half the striker came close again as he was picked out in the middle by Jonjo Shelvey, but he diverted the ball wide.

The hosts were in control and threatened again when Wayne Routledge exchanged passes with Michu, before bursting into the box and poking an effort towards goal that was tipped away by John Ruddy.

On the half-hour mark Swansea made their pressure count. De Guzman picked up a loose ball on the edge of the area and drilled a low strike into the bottom corner to give his side the lead.

In the 38th minute, De Guzman scored his second of the afternoon when he latched onto Wilfried Bony's back-pass into the area and kept his composure to slot the ball into the far corner.
