Match in a Minute - Swansea 1-2 Liverpool
Saturday 1 October 2016 16:30, UK
Alan McInally reflects on the early kick-off at the Liberty Stadium where Swansea City hosted Liverpool.
James Milner's late penalty gave Liverpool a 2-1 win at Swansea on Saturday to extend their winning run to five games.
Leroy Fer gave Swansea the lead with a simple close-range finish early on, and Swansea should have been further ahead in the first half, but Borja Baston's two unmarked headers were off target.
Liverpool's pressure either side of half-time took its toll on Swansea as Roberto Firmino headed the visitors level from 10 yards on 54 minutes.
And they got their winner in the 84th minute as Firmino was brought down by Angel Rangel in the area, Milner making no mistake from the spot.
