Swansea City 2-0 Stoke City: Fulton and Palmer score as Swans go second

Swansea City comfortably beat Stoke City to move up to second place in the Championship.

The dominant Swans missed several chances before Jay Fulton's elegant flicked finish put them in front.

Andre Ayew had a shot blocked from an indirect free-kick inside Stoke's six-yard box, before Jamal Lowe wasted a glorious opportunity to seal victory.

But it did not matter as Kasey Palmer headed in Swansea's second, with Stoke dropping down to ninth in the table.

Swansea and Stoke started the evening in sixth and eighth place respectively - each on 12 points from seven games - but they looked poles apart throughout this match.
