EPL: Swansea City 2-0 Huddersfield Town

Abraham brace gives Swans first home win

Swansea City earned their first home win of the Premier League season to move out of the bottom three by defeating Huddersfield.

Goals either side of half-time from on-loan frontman Tammy Abraham did the damage although the Terriers will be cursing themselves, having gifted Paul Clement's team their opener.

Huddersfield were also guilty of spurning good chances at the other end and they have now gone seven games in a row without victory.

Swansea were struggling to make inroads as the interval approached and there was a growing sense of unease around the Liberty Stadium until they were handed the breakthrough on a plate.

Goalkeeper Jonas Lossl played a short ball straight into the path of Tom Carroll and he squared the ball for Abraham to finish from close range.

Huddersfield brought on Aaron Mooy at the break and the visitors started the second half with purpose, only to have be halted in their tracks three minutes in.

Luciano Narsingh was making inroads before Mooy's excellent challenge, but the Aussie only managed to deflect the ball into Jordan Ayew's path and he lifted beyond Lossl, with Abraham there to poke home and double his tally.

Abraham should have had his hat-trick with 20 minutes left, with Narsingh crossing from the left, but his effort was charged down.

The visitors almost got back into the game when Rajiv van La Parra's shot deflected off Kyle Naughton, but it came back off the crossbar and Swansea closed out the game.
