    The Swansea players are the first to emerge from the tunnel, followed soon after by Manchester City. All the while, a weird operatic dance version of the theme music from Gladiator plays.

    Chris Wright:, external Stunning strike by Sigurdsson! Very timely goal given City were in the ascendency.

    Peter Collins:, external Ok, I think we can say that one wasn't the keeper's fault. Fantastic strike from Sigurdsson!

    Daniel Mackay:, external Great strike from Gylfi Sigurdsson. His technique when shooting is one of the best in the league.

    Yaya Toure is the fourth player to score 50 Premier League goals for Manchester City, after Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko.

    Aguero has scored eight and assisted two in his last six Premier League appearances.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson has equalled his best goal tally in a single Premier League season (seven, also in 2011-12 with Swansea).

    Arsenal fan John from London: So typical that Fabianski would have an incredible game against Arsenal and a rubbish game against City.

    BBC Radio summariser Fred Eyre: "It's been a constant threat down the left hand side from Montero, giving Zabaleta a difficult time with his orthodox left wing play. He picked out Sigurdsson, he took it out from under his feet with a touch and buried it with a daisy cutter past Hart. That's a lifeline for Swansea."

    And there is the break. Swansea will go in buoyant, Manchester City will suddenly have doubts here a minute earlier there were none.

    Game on! Swansea get themselves right back into this bang on the stroke of half-time. It is a very well-worked goal as well. They move the ball about at speed in the Man City half until reaching Gylfi Sigurdsson on the edge of the box and his lashed low shot flies into the bottom corner. A cracking second half has just been teed up.

    "The floodlights are on at an overcast Liberty Stadium. Swansea had made a bright start but James Milner's goal has put Manchester City firmly in control and quietened the home support.

    "The travelling support however are in fine voice and taunt the Swansea fans with chants of: "Are you Cardiff in disguise?" - needless to say that does not go down well among the Swansea faithful."

    Feeling the play-off final nerves? Not a bit of it from Grimsby's Lenell John-Lewis, who taps in from close range to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead against Bristol Rovers after just three minutes. A long way to go though...

    Peter Collins:, external Honestly, I think Fabianski used up all his saves on Monday night... He should be saving that!

    Niall McDermott:, external If Milner was Brazilian people would be going on about him a lot more. So underrated. City cant let him go.

    D Duberstein:, external It's like Fabianksi is deliberately trying to scupper Arsenal's chances of 2nd. Great saves last week, howling error this week!

    That goal has hit Swansea hard. They were still in the game and looking a threat. But now Manchester City are firmly in control and exuding the confidence to match it. Frank Lampard looks to latch on to a pass into the box and tumbles under a challenge, but there is no spot-pointing from the ref. It's the correct call.

    BBC Radio Manchester summariser Fred Eyre: "Aguero won the race for the ball when he looked to be second best. He held on to the ball, waited for Milner and rolled it to him beautifully, but Fabianski should have done better with it. It was a breakaway goal, an absolute smash-and-grab."

    It was a superb run and finish from Milner for the goal. He doesn't always get the credit he deserves but a sure sign of his quality is the amount of clubs queuing up to sign him if he doesn't agree a new deal at City this summer.

    Manchester City have not done anything spectacular so far but they have been ruthless when needed. A superb counter-attack sees Sergio Aguero collect the ball in the Swansea half, hold up and then find the over-lapping James Milner, who carries the ball into the box and beats Lukasz Fabianski with a low shot.

    Swansea fans are not happy. They think David Silva was offside as he reached a pass forward in space down the left. He wasn't, though, and the move almost results in a second goal for Manchester City, courtesy of Silva's pass to Yaya Toure and the Ivorian's deflected shot.
