Swansea 2-1 Villa - HT: Villa can consider themselves very unlucky to be behind at the break. A stunning strike from Jonjo Shelvey proved to be the difference in the first half at the Liberty Stadium. Wilfried Bony found himself one-on-one with Brad Guzan after 10 minutes and coolly slotted past the US goalkeeper. But Gabby Agbonlahor was the beneficiary of a superb Marc Albrighton cross, scoring from close range to make it 1-1. A moment of brilliance from Shelvey on 26 minutes gave Swansea the edge. The former Liverpool midfielder caught out Brad Guzan with a stunning lob from just inside the Villa half. Marc Albrighton went close for Villa with a deflected long-range effort, while Michel Vorm struggled to hold a stinging Andi Weimann strike.
