    This lad Jefferson Montero is having a storming start to the season. The Swansea left winger skips past the challenge of Daryl Janmaat and gets to the byline before his cut back is intercepted by Magpies midfielder Jack Colback.

    BBC Sport's Dafydd Pritchard at the Liberty Stadium: "There are high hopes for Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey this season, with some tipping the former Liverpool man to add to his solitary England cap sometime soon. Shelvey impressed in the opening 2-2 draw at Chelsea, and he has controlled the opening 20 minutes against Newcastle. 

    "It was his delightful through ball which set Bafetimbi Gomis on his way for Swansea's goal, and his crisp passing has allowed Swansea to dictate the pace of this game. The one negative? Shelvey is one of eight players sporting garish lime green boots."

    Swansea City 1-0 Newcastle United

    Newcastle appeared to have a decent claim for Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis's goal being offside but replays show that Daryl Janmaat was playing him onside - just.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17 mins:

    Newcastle defender Daryl Janmaat clatters into Jefferson Montero again and becomes the first player in referee Mike Jones's book as he gets a yellow card.

    Bafetimbi Gomis

    Swansea's goal has been coming but Newcastle will feel it was offside. Jonjo Shelvey slides a pass through to Gomis and, after there is no flag from the assistant referee, Gomis rounds the keeper and slots in a shot.

    Swansea City v Newcastle United (15:00 BST)

    James Beattie, Swansea forwards coach on Football Focus earlier on:  "There are very good players here. Last week's 2-2 draw at Chelsea was a culmination of a lot of things - hard work in training Stamford Bridge and a good strategy. 

    "As manager Garry Monk was growing up and progressing as a player he was always a student of the game. The way he's taken the management opportunity is second to none."
