SWANSEA CITY 3 Llorente (12, 90), Olsson (69) BURNLEY 2 Gray (pen, 20, 61)

FERNANDO LLORENTE proved Swansea’s hero in a thrilling victory over Burnley, after referee Anthony Taylor had taken centre stage by awarding one of the most controversial penalties of the season.

Spain striker Llorente headed home a 90th-minute winner to ease Swansea’s relegation fears.

Earlier, Andre Gray’s double, either side of goals from Llorente and Martin Olsson, looked like handing Burnley some r a re away-day joy. But the contest will be remembered for the 20th- minute penalty Burnley were awarded when George Boyd’s corner escaped everyone, before striking the arm of Clarets striker Sam Vokes.

Taylor incensed the Swansea players by pointing to the spot and Gray’s straight- down- the- middle kick cancelled out Llorente’s 12thminute header.

Gray put Burnley ahead, before full- back Olsson scored for the second successive home game to give Swansea the point that was the least their efforts deserved.

Swansea’s fast start was almost rewarded when Alfie Mawson struck the woodwork twice in the same 11th-minute attack.

But Burnley were granted a short reprieve as Llorente met Leroy Fer’s cross a minute later to head home.

Burnley responded well to that setback as Jeff Hendrick fired into Lukasz Fabianski’s midriff, before their controversial leveller from the spot. The sense of injustice that decision created seemed to drive on a Swansea side.

The home side were stunned after 61 minutes when Gray had time to deliver an unerring shot past Fabianski. But Swansea were level within six minutes as Sigurdsson slipped in Olsson and his angled finish gave Paul Robinson no chance.

Carroll almost won it when his goalbound shot was turned off the line by Ben Mee, but the midfielder soon swung over a cross allowing Llorente to rise superbly and spark wild Swansea celebrations which included a touch- line dash from boss Paul Clement.
