New Swansea City boss Paul Clement "made his presence felt" during half-time of their vital 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, according to first-team coach Alan Curtis.
Angel Rangel's winner lifted the Swans off the bottom of the Premier League hours after Clement's appointment.
The ex-Derby boss started in the stands, but later joined the coaching team on the touchline.
"He came down for moral support, he made his presence felt," said Curtis.
"But there was not too much to say. We would have surprised a lot of people with our performance today."
Clement's appointment as Swansea's third head coach of a turbulent season came in the afternoon before the game at Selhurst Park, but joined Curtis in the dugout during the match.
