A fine goal by Gylfi Sigurdsson earned Swansea City a vital 1-0 win over fellow Premier League strugglers Norwich City on Saturday.

Sigurdsson struck after 61 minutes, running on to a fine pass by substitute Leroy Fer and driving a firm shot into the far corner.

Nathan Redmond nearly scored a late equaliser for Norwich who remained third-bottom of the table, one behind Sunderland and nine points adrift of 16th-placed Swansea.
