Boss Paul Clement returns to the Selhurst Park scene of his first Swansea game admitting it 'seems a lifetime ago'.

Clement was appointed head coach nine months ago on January 3, with Swansea bottom of the Premier League and reeling from Bob Bradley's disastrous 85 days in charge.

That night Swansea were playing at relegation rivals Crystal Palace and Clement was supposed to be having a watching brief from the stands.

But Clement ended up joining caretaker manager Alan Curtis in the technical area in the second half, and Swansea beat Sam Allardyce's Palace 2-1 to start their climb to top-flight safety.
