Swansea 0-1 Southampton: Mark Hughes' men on verge of Premier League safety with priceless win in south Wales

Manolo Gabbiadini’s close-range second-half strike handed saw Southampton take a giant leap towards Premier League safety after securing a 1-0 win at Swansea.

The Swans are in deep trouble after the defeat and will go be on the verge of going down if Huddersfield get at least a point at Chelsea tomorrow night due to their inferior goal difference in comparisons to the Saints.

The result also confirms West Brom’s relegation from the top flight.

In what was a tense game, both sides exchanged few chances in the first-half, but Charlie Austin forced Lukasz Fabianski into a smart save, while Sam Clucas’ header drifted just wide.
