Swansea City climbed off the bottom of the Premier League with a crucial 3-0 victory against Sunderland that plunged their fellow strugglers to the foot of the table on Saturday.
Bob Bradley's side won for just the second time under their American manager thanks to Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty and a double from Fernando Llorente at the Liberty Stadium.
David Moyes' side had managed only one clean sheet this season and they shot themselves in the foot again as Sigurdsson put Swansea ahead in the 51st minute.
Sunderland defender Jason Denayer needlessly handled Wayne Routledge's cross and Sigurdsson drove the resulting penalty down the middle for his third goal in his last four appearances.
Sigurdsson, by far Swansea's most influential player, wasn't finished yet and he played a key role in his side's second goal three minutes later with a clever corner that allowed Spanish forward Llorente to sweep home from six yards.
It was Llorente who delivered the knockout blow in the 80th minute as the 31-year-old headed in from Jefferson Montero's cross for his fifth goal of the season.
