[orion523]

Wolverhampton 0-1 Swansea City
Barclays Premier League Round Nine
Molineux Stadium

Wolverhampton- Despite playing in horrendous conditions, visiting club Swansea City, with their slick passing style, played an impressive match in a much closer than it should have been 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey, a Wales native, was simply fabulous, making several key saves which kept his team in the match. The Jacks lone goal came on a penalty in the 58th minute which was converted by Gylfi Sigurosson quite smartly into the top right corner. From there, Swansea dominated possession while getting off shot after shot but each time, Hennessey was the better. With the win, Swansea City has now escaped the drop zone for the first time this season.
