LONDON (Reuters) - New Swansea City manager Paul Clement praised his side's "90-minute" performance after the Welsh strugglers recorded a first ever league victory at Liverpool on Saturday.

Spain striker Fernando Llorente scored twice in quick succession after the break for the Swans and although Robert Firmino's double hauled Liverpool level, Gylfi Sigurdsson slotted in a 74th-minute winner to inflict Liverpool's first home league defeat of the season and lift Swansea out of the bottom three.
