FULL-TIME! Swansea City move eleven points clear of the drop-zone after a single-goal victory over doomed Aston Villa at the Liberty Stadium.
With the scores level and Aston Villa on top at 53 minutes, Brad Guzan made a calamitous mistake as he failed to get a proper connection on the ball allowing Federico Fernandez to bundle the ball over the line.
Thanks for tuning in!

JUST WIDE! Gomis, on the break, should double Swansea's advantage but he somehow screws the shot wide of the goal.

Four minutes of time to be added on - Villa need to score twice.
88'
Two minutes to play. Villa give the ball back to Swansea - not what they need at this stage of the match.
86'
Aston Villa
You've got to feel sorry for Remi Garde. His side had been the better side until his goalkeeper made a calamitous mistake which led to the goal. He cannot do anything to stop such individual mistakes.

Swansea City
Swansea are preparing to make their final change of the match.

Never mind that, Swansea have kept a hold of possession for the last minute and Villa are chasing shadows. The hosts are just over five minutes from a crucial victory which would all but secure their place in the Premier League next season.
81'
Neither side able to keep a hold of the ball at the moment.
79'
Aston Villa have little more than 10 minutes to salvage something from the game. Even a point wouldn't be enough, they simply need to win at this stage of the season.

SWANSA SUB! Kyle Naughton replaces Barrow. That is Swansea's second change of the match.
77'
Aston Villa
Green sends a cross in from the right flank towards Ayew on the edge of the penalty area but he fails to control the ball and it goes out for a throw-in. Swansea are preparing a change.
76'
There's a sense of nervousness in the home stands now as Villa begin to enjoy a spell of pressure. This one isn't over just yet.

SAVE! Swansea have struggled with set-pieces all evening and they almost concede here but Lescott can only head straight at Fabianski.
73'
Aston Villa
The youngster Green wins his side a corner which Gil delivers and, once more, Clark rises highest but it takes a deflection and Villa have another corner.

Swansea City
Kingsley has picked up a knock here and will leave the pitch for treatment to his left knee. He should be OK to continue though.
69'
We have little more than 20 minutes to play at the Liberty Stadium where Swansea lead 1-0. The hosts had been really poor until a mistake by Guzan allowed Fernandez to open the scoring on 53 minutes.
