It's taken four months, but finally Swansea seem to have found a way to activate the talent in the World Cup winner who often sits on their bench. The awakening of Fernando Llorente might just prove to be a decisive factor in their relegation battle.
He has been a strange subplot in Swansea's strange season, given he has won just about everything in football and yet as recently as last weekend Bob Bradley preferred to start against Tottenham without a striker.
That decision seemed odd at the time of a 5-0 defeat and odder still on Saturday evening after Llorente scored twice in the dismantling of Sunderland to lift Swansea out of the bottom three.
