Swansea City added breathing room between them and the Championship relegation zone on Friday night with a dramatic 2-1 win over Wrexham at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Cameron Burgess’ first half own goal put the visitors ahead, but Vitor Matos’ men continued their fine home form to turn the game around. Zan Vipotnik levelled in the 70th minute before Adam Idah netted the perfect Christmas gift for the Swans.
Here’s how the players rated on the day.
Lawrence Vigouroux
Couldn’t have done anything about Burgess’ own goal but was strong in denying Wrexham from set-pieces. Came out to collect crosses well. 6
Ethan Galbraith
Awarded Man of the Match by Sky Sports and fully deserved. Another fine performance, although he was fortunate to escape a red card for a high challenge on Lewis O’Brien. 8
Ben Cabango
Struggled to deal with Keiffer Moore early on but recovered well. Defended Wrexham’s set-pieces and ‘assisted’ Idah’s winner with a smart header towards goal. 7
Cameron Burgess
So unfortunate with the own goal and very nearly conceded another when he blocked Nathan Broadhead’s strike. Nearly got one back at the other end on two occasions. 7
Josh Tymon
Quiet game for the left-back, especially going forward. Should have done better in stopping Longman’s shot prior to Burgess’ own goal, but was better in the second half. 6
Marko Stamenic
Strong in midfield and covered every blade alongside Franco. Came so close to equalising with a fine curling effort before being replaced. 6
Goncalo Franco
Like his midfield teammate, Franco was strong against Wrexham’s midfield three. He let himself down in the first half but attempting to win a penalty for contact on the face, when there was none. 6
Melker Widell
Picked up some dangerous positions early on and came close with a volley. His creative presence lessened after the break and was replaces after an hour. 6
Ronald
Struggled in the first half but was such a threat after half-time. Grabbed an assist for Vipotnik and created a big chance for Cullen. He was a nightmare for Wrexham and a player they couldn’t deal with. 8
Zeidane Inoussa
Started bright and with a point to prove. His pace was an issue for Wrexham but his impact was lacking. He was sacrificed by Matos after an hour. 6
Zan Vipotnik
Two goals in two games for the striker and you can see why he has so much interest from the Premier League. He turned the defender with so much ease. 8
Subs
Liam Cullen
Came agonisingly close to scoring the winner but shot just wide. Physical and made Wrexham defenders panic when they had the ball. 6
Ji-Sung Eom
Immediately wanted to cause issues for the defenders and get inside the box. Actually took up central positions at time to win the ball back. 6
Jay Fulton
A very classy display in the 12 minutes he got. Delivered the free-kick that led to the winner. 6
Malick Yalcouye
Attempted some superb passes that lacked the power and angle inside the box. Ran about so much and helped Swansea maintain the pressure. 6
Adam Idah
The matchwinner and that one will feel good. His first goal since the start of November and a simple case of being in the right place at the right time. 7
