Swansea 1-0 Liverpool: Mawson Strike Gives Struggling Swans Vital Win Despite Reds Dominance

Alfie Mawson's first half goal gave bottom side Swansea City a shock win over Liverpool, who had an unusually frustrating night in front of goal on Monday night.

The first half was a tense affair, with the first real chance coming when Mohamed Salah was played in by Virgil van Dijk, but the Egyptian uncharacteristically fired his volley over.

Prior to that, Van Dijk had gone close with a header from an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain corner, while the former Arsenal man had also tested Lukas Fabianski with a half volley from just outside the box, as the visitors controlled the game but failed to find the end product in the final third.
