BY IAN MITCHELMORE How they rated

FREDDIE WOODMAN

Didn’t have a save to make in the opening half and did fairly well after the restart. Not much he could do about the goal. JOEL LATIBEAUDIERE

Made plenty of clearances and impressed in the opening half. A slight wobble after the restart but ended strongly. RYAN BENNETT

On his return from injury, Bennett commanded things at the back and made stacks of clearances to ensure Woodman had a comfortable afternoon. Two great blocks after the restart as Forest pushed. Colossus of a man. MARC GUEHI Made a few clearances and looked typically comfortable in possession too. Could have conceded a penalty before Anthony Knockaert’s goal and was subbed late on. CONNOR ROBERTS Had a really enjoyable afternoon and was unfortunate not to get himself a goal before half-time. Taken off late on as Swansea saw out the game. CONOR HOURIHANE

Quality from set-pieces was hugely impressive, and the Aston Villa man wasted no time in showing how good an acquisition he is. MATT GRIMES (CAPT)

In a deep-lying midfield role, Grimes gave the back three plenty of cover and made it 2-0 with a stunning strike from distance. Cool from the penalty spot too before being subbed. Wonderful display. RYAN MANNING

Offered a real threat on the left flank and made plenty of interceptions when it came to defending. Made a string of vital tackles and blocks in the second half too. Great assist for Cullen’s second. A really good shift. YAN DHANDA Had some really good flashes in the final third in truth. The others took the limelight, but he can be happy with his efforts. WAYNE ROUTLEDGE A wonderful cross that led to Swansea’s opener, but he was forced off through injury not too long after.
