Jamie Paterson secured an injury-time winner, giving Swansea a 2-1 victory over Preston in the Championship.
The result marked Swansea’s first home win in eight games. Liam Millar had earlier equalized Paterson’s first goal, but in the dying moments of added time, Paterson struck again to secure the win for Swansea.
The match had lacked significant inspiration, with both teams seemingly headed for a draw until the dramatic late goal by Paterson.
The victory propelled Swansea four places up to 15th in the Championship table, while Preston’s struggles continued as they slipped to ninth.
The interim manager for Swansea, Alan Sheehan, had urged for clarity over the managerial vacancy at the club. The win adds to Swansea’s points tally under Sheehan’s temporary leadership.
