SWANSEA CITY 2

Abraham (42, 48)

HUDDERSFIELD 0

Tammy Abraham delivered his first Premier League double as Swansea finally got off the mark at home with victory over Huddersfield.

The on-loan Chelsea youngster turned 20 earlier this month, and his third and fourth goals of the league campaign were a belated birthday present as Swansea climbed out of the relegation zone.

Swansea had suffered three opening home defeats for the first time in their history, so the three points will come as a huge relief to boss Paul Clement.

It was also another grim reality check for David Wagner’s Huddersfield after their impressive start to life at the top.

The Terriers have gone six games without a win and are now only one point above Swansea.

There was an intensity about Swansea’s early play that had been missing in recent games, though Leroy Fer paid for that by being booked after clattering into goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.

Huddersfield’s anxiety was reflected by a Mathias Jorgensen mistake that allowed Abraham to test Lossl from 18 yards out.

Huddersfield stirred to life midway through the first half when Elias Kachunga went close and Tom Ince ballooned Rajiv van La Parra’s cross over from six yards.

Ince also felt he should have been awarded a penalty after being found by Lossl’s clearance, but there seemed minimal contact from Martin Olsson as the Terriers forward went to ground.

Swansea’s attacks had started to peter out but they were gifted the lead three minutes before the interval.

Lossl’s kick went straight to Tom Carroll, and the midfielder squared a cross, which Jordan Ayew stepped over and Abraham finished confidently.

Huddersfield sent on Aaron Mooy after the break following his World Cup exertions with Australia, but the midfielder inadvertently helped Swansea double their lead soon after.

Mooy’s tackle on Luciano Narsingh played the ball into Ayew’s path, and his chip over Lossl was heading goalwards before Abraham applied the final touch.

Huddersfield were denied a late consolation when van La Parra’s drive deflected onto the crossbar.
