(Reuters) - Swansea City fought back with goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alberto Paloschi to escape with a draw from the Britannia Stadium after the home side led 2-0 through goals by Ibrahim Afellay and Bojan Krkic.

Stoke had five players out with injuries including goalkeeper Jack Butland, but they made light of those absences when Afellay headed them ahead after 13 minutes on his 30th birthday.
