    Swansea 1-1 Watford

    Swansea look like a different side in this second half. They're all over Watford and the home fans are singing once again.

    GOAL - Swansea 1-1 Watfordpublished at 55 mins

    Tammy Abraham

    Breakthrough!

    Wilfried Bony receives the ball in the centre of the penalty area, after some good hold up play by Jordan Ayew.

    His shot is well saved by Heurelho Gomes, but it trickles into the path of Tammy Abraham and the Chelsea loanee pounces.

    That's Swansea's first home goal of the season.

    Ooof. Leroy Fer heads over from Tom Carroll's corner. He was well-hustled by the Watford defence there.

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    With Richarlison off the field receiving treatment, Jordan Ayew now ends up in the wars after a crunching tackle from Adrian Mariappa.

    Swansea earn a free-kick and it bobbles around the box and out for a corner.

  5. ouch!

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    Abdoulaye Doucoure, who's already been booked, goes in a little late on Jordan Ayew.

    Swansea play the ball around the midfield from the resulting free-kick and eventually Wilfried Bony feeds to Tammy Abraham, but Watford clear their lines.

    Much more positive from the hosts in this second half.

    Richarlison weaves his way into the box but the ball is flicked away from danger among a cluster of white shirts.

    Tammy Abraham and Roque Mesa get their first touches as Swansea try and pile the ball towards Wilfried Bony.

    There are faint cries for a penalty as Jose Holebas has his hand in the air as he clears in the box. It looks like the ball has come off the back of his head instead.

  8. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    It looks like Swansea are making two changes. Tammy Abraham and Roque Mesa are on for Mike van der Hoorn and Sam Clucas.

    And Molla Wague is on for Watford in place of Etienne Capoue.

    We're back under way.

  10. Abraham discusses international futurepublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 23 September 2017

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    Swansea loan striker Tammy Abraham has been in the headlines this week, after reports circulated that he was going to pledge his international allegiance to Nigeria over England.

    But London-born Abraham, whose father is Nigerian, has clarified the situation, saying: "I can confirm I met the president of the NFF after our last game against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday, given he is a friend of my father.

    "However, any suggestion that I have made a decision to change my international representation is incorrect and wide of the mark."

    "I have informed the FA that I remain available for selection for England."

    Abraham joined Swansea from Chelsea on a season-long loan in the summer and has scored two goals in seven appearances for the Welsh club. He's on the bench today.

    Erm, Swansea aren't going to be allowed to take the corner as the ref has blown for half-time. A strange decision, that.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 46 mins

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    Abdoulaye Doucoure is booked for wrestling Leroy Fer to the ground.

    Tom Carroll whips in the resulting free-kick and Christian Kabasele knocks it out for a corner.

    What a run from Andre Carrillo. He wriggles his way up the right and into the box but he's intercepted by Sam Clucas. Watford earn the corner.

    Holebas sends it in. Etienne Capoue tries to poke it goalwards after Swansea mess up the clearance but the flag is up.

    Another opportunity for Swansea from a Tom Carroll free-kick.

    The white shirts queue up...but neither Bony or Mike van der Hoorn can get a head or another body part on it.

    The ball is bouncing around the Watford box but Swansea just can't do anything with it.

    Martin Olsson ends up on his bum and offers a half-hearted penalty appeal but he gets no reaction from referee Lee Mason.

  17. CLOSE!published at 40 mins

    Swansea 0-1 Watford

    Oh Alfie Mawson's had a shocker there.

    The Swansea defender inexplicably loses the ball while under no pressure at all and Andre Gray picks it up before shooting wide.

    Having just said that. Martin Olsson finds loads of space on the left and feeds in a lovely ball to Wilfried Bony, but the Swansea forward gets his feet in the wrong place and he sends a weak shot into the hands of Gomes.

    This is getting ugly for Swansea, whose fans have started to boo their side's backward passes.

    You can see why the supporters are angry. This has been an abject display from the hosts, who have been completely overrun in midfield.

    The frustration from the Swansea fans is palpable. They are offering very little in attack and the home support aren't happy about it.
