Oct 1 (Reuters) - James Milner scored an 84th-minute penalty as Liverpool overcame a terrible start and survived a late scare to win 2-1 at Swansea City on Saturday and move second in the Premier League.

Juergen Klopp's side had looked second best for much of the game, but if good teams are often judged on their ability to pick up points when not playing well then Liverpool took another step forward at the Liberty Stadium.
