Clement was offering moral support - Curtis

New Swansea City head coach Paul Clement came down to the touchline to offer "moral support" in Tuesday's crucial 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace, says Alan Curtis.

Clement, who signed a two-and-a-half year deal to replace Bob Bradley at the Liberty Stadium, was supposed to take a watching brief at Selhurst Park but came to the dugout in each half.

The former Derby County boss watched on as his side claimed a dramatic three points with unlikely goalscorer Angel Rangel netting his first league goal since May 2013 in the 88th minute after Wilfried Zaha's sensational acrobatic strike had cancelled out Alfie Mawson's first-half opener.
