Swansea capped off an exhilarating team performance with a deserved win over the Clarets at the Liberty Stadium.

Needless to say, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente were at the heart of everything good about the Welsh side as Leroy Fer and Lukasz Fabianski showed their true value.

Paul Clement’s side took a lead through a thumping header by Llorente but were shocked out of their wits by referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to award a penalty to the visitors despite the ball coming off a Burnley player.

Swansea then fell behind to a lovely Andre Gray goal but then shook off the setbacks to score two more cracking goals – the first from Martin Olsson and a second from Llorente - that sealed the three points and took them further towards safety.

Honourable mentions: Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Stoke City
