    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    We saw early attacks in the first-half, and it's a flying start to the second period, too.

    First, Jordan Ayew steals the ball from Charlie Daniels before a smart save by Asmir Begovic.

    At the other end, Bournemouth's Adam Smith fires just wide of Fabianski's right post from distance.

    Wilfried Bony's only touch of the ball inside Bournemouth's half in the opening 45 minutes came with the disallowed goal in added time.

    Goalless at the break and there are pantomime boos for Mr. Attwell from the home supporters - they're not convinced that Bony's goal should have been ruled out.

    Ayew definitely leans into Ake, but it's up for discussion as to whether the Dutchman was simply out-muscled.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    The ball is in the back of Bournemouth's net, but it won't count.

    Renato Sanches found space inside the visitors area and his attempt at a shot cannons into the air, before finding it's way to Wilfried Bony who puts the ball beyond Begovic.

    But referee Stuart Attwell says that there was a foul by Jordan Ayew on Nathan Ake in the build-up, which means...

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Joshua King should have Bournemouth ahead.

    Swansea fail to clear the danger from a Bournemouth corner, presenting an opportunity for a neat exchange of passes between Pugh and the Norwegian.

    King has the space and time to deliver a stinging shot, but it's straight at Fabianski.

    Five minutes to go until the break and Swansea are still without a shot on target, despite an improved spell.

    Roque Mesa is the latest to have a go at goal, but his shot from the edge of the area goes well over.

    Better from Swansea,

    Mesa and Carroll tee up Olsson, who volleys over, before Sanches hits the side-netting from a Carroll pass moments later.

    Crack open your dictionaries and against the word stalemate you may well end up reading today's match report.

    Marc Pugh's scuffed effort that dribbled its way through to Lukasz Fabianski remains the only chance of the contest.

    Swansea's fans have tried to stay positive, but this is not a performance to give them any festive cheer so far.

    Renato Sanches in particular is struggling to make an impression. It remains the most 0-0 game you will see.

    Bournemouth edging the possession stakes, but nothing to divide the sides as far as the scoreline is concerned.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Joshua King once again has the better of Roque Mesa, but the home side are let off the hook as the ball across the box fails to find a team-mate.

    Swansea then break but Renato Sanches shows little of the quality that allowed him to make a name for himself at Euro 2016 with Portugal, as his poor cross gives Wilfried Bony no chance.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    The best chance of this game remains Marc Pugh's early scuffed shot, but Bournemouth remain on the charge.

    From a Cherries corner, a headed clearance goes only as far as Nathan Ake on the edge of the box - and the Dutchman goes for the spectacular with an overhead kick...

    However his connection lacks bite, instead looping up into the air and into the grateful arms of Fabianski.

    You can't accuse the visitors of being afraid to have a go, though...

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    A nice ball from Martin Olsson finds Jordan Ayew on the break for Swansea, and the Ghanaian finds an opening after beating two men... but he passes up the chance to take a shot and the attack fizzles out.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth are playing with the sort of confidence you might expect from a side who are starting to enjoy some good form.

    The Cherries pass the ball out from the back, before Charlie Daniels make a tenacious run down the left and finds Callum Wilson in space on the edge of the box.

    But last week's hattrick scorer sees his first shot of the match blocked by a white shirt.

    At the other end, Bony helps work some space for Martin Olsson, but in an indication of the story of the match so far for the home side, there's just too much on the final pass.

    Swansea 0-0 Bournemouth

    After a promising start, this match is struggling to offer up much in the way of quality.

    Bournemouth have had the first shot on target, though, with Andrew Surman striking straight at Lukasz Fabianski after an enterprising run by Jordon Ibe.

    They were almost everyone's second team a few years ago, because of the way they played their football and the way they hired their managers, they were close to a model club at times. But they're in a mess at the moment, there doesn't seem to be any goals in this team. Recruitment has been tough for them, Llorente wanted to go to Spurs, and they haven't really replaced him - it was a big call to put all the pressure on Abraham in his first season in the Premier League.

    Swansea finally starting to see a bit of the ball at the Liberty.

    Tom Carroll and Wilfried Bony link nicely on the left, but Adam Smith gets a foot in for the visitors.
