    Fabianski flaps at the cross but gets lucky as the ball drops at his feet and the Swansea keeper grabs hold of it.

    It is probably too little too late but Stoke win a corner.

    The Swans win a corner but there is no way this is going in the box. Two minutes left.

    Four minutes added time.

    Not long for Swansea to hold on. They've got the ball near the Stoke box as well.

    Crouch is going in the book here for a challenge on Mike van der Hoorn. 

    He's given Van der Hoorn a little push on the back of the head.

    Swansea have dominated this game, really. Stoke have changed their shape to a diamond with Crouch leading the line, but it's not made an iota of difference. If either side look more likely to score it's the Swans.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 86 mins

    Swansea 2-0 Stoke

    Nothing has gone Marko Arnautovic's way today and now he is replaced by Mame Biram Diouf.  

    Leon Britton is also subbed off and receives a standing ovation from the home crowd.

    Britton was making his first appearance under Paul Clement and has been outstanding.

    Swansea have been excellent here and are unfortunate that Hull are 2-0 against Watford.

    That result means Swansea are staying in the bottom three as it stands.

    Mark Hughes is furious with his side on the touchline. He makes a change replacing Saido Berahino with Ramadan Sobhi.

    That does little to stop the Swansea pressure though, Ki Sung-yueng slices a half-volley wide for the home side.

    And breathe! What a few minutes that was.

    Not settling for two goals, Jordan Ayew has a shot from a narrow angle saved at the near post by Jack Butland.

    The Liberty Stadium is bouncing.

    Having just scored once from distance, Tom Carroll thinks he may as well have another go and almost finds the top corner again but for a diving Jack Butland.

    I thought we were watching the Ospreys, not Swansea, playing on the pitch. That was a rugby conversion! That wasn't just a penalty miss, that was a huge penalty miss, and what a let-off for Swansea.

    And what a crazy minute of football! Instead of levelling it up Stoke now find themselves two goals down! That took a wicked deflection off Joe Allen and no chance for Jack Butland. All Swansea's supporters want is for Watford to do something against Hull.

    But this is no more than Swansea deserve.

    Swansea 2-0 Stoke

    Moments after Stoke miss a penalty Swansea double their lead.

    Tom Carroll has a hit from 30 yards and it takes a flick off Joe Allen - playing against his former club of course - and flies into the top corner.

    I think they heard those Swansea fans' cheers in Stoke.

    Set pieces apart, Swansea have lost their forward impetus since Llorente was replaced. Jordan Ayew has moved into the central striking position.

    Paul Clement has taken something of a gamble by replacing striker Fernando Llorente with centre-back Mike van der Hoorn, who has not played since January.

    Swansea seem to have switched to a new 5-3-2 formation, with playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson pushed forward into an unfamiliar striker role.
