Swansea stun Palace in 9-goal EPL thriller
Nov 26, 2016 - 5:38 PM Fernando Llorente's two injury-time goals saw Swansea come from behind to snatch a thrilling 5-4 win over Crystal Palace in an amazing see-saw game at the Liberty Stadium.For Swansea the win snapped an 11-game winless streak and for Palace it handed them their sixth straight defeat.
Wilfried Zaha opened the scoring for Palace but Bob Bradley's Swans looked set for their first win since the opening day of the season as a Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick and a brace from Leroy Fer put them 3-1 midway through the second half.
Unbowed, Alan Pardew's Palace came roaring back, James Tomkins forcing home a corner and Jack Cork deflecting the ball into his own net before Christian Benteke put the visitors 4-3 up with just six minutes left.
But Llorente netted twice in the 91st and 93rd minutes to put the home side back on top, and they hung on grimly through seven minutes of injury time for the three precious points that take them off the bottom of the table.
