Liverpool keep pace in battle for fourth place with defeat of Swansea

Liverpool maintained the pressure in the race for Champions League qualification as Jordan Henderson's fortunate second-half goal saw off Swansea at the Liberty Stadium to seal a 1-0 win.

Henderson's 68th minute winner - his sixth goal of the season and his third in successive Premier League games - had a slice of good fortune about it as Jordi Amat's attempted clearance clattered into him, but Liverpool will not worry about that on a night when Swansea had them clinging on for large parts of the first half.
