Swansea City clinched a thrilling 2-1 victory over Norwich City, thanks to a sensational brace by Zan Vipotnik! 🎉⚽ The Slovenian striker lit up the Swansea.com Stadium, scoring his seventh goal of the season early on, giving the Swans a dream start. Though Norwich came fighting back with Jovon Makama equalising just before the break, Vipotnik wasn’t done yet. He nailed a stunning second-half strike from the edge of the box that had fans roaring!
After a shaky run with only one win in seven, this victory is a welcome boost for Swansea’s coach Alan Sheehan, who admitted he had been feeling the pressure. The result puts Swansea up to 13th in the Championship table, ending Norwich’s hopes of shaking off an eight-game winless spell and piling more pressure on their manager Liam Manning.
Swansea started strong, with Marko Stamenic skillfully setting up Vipotnik’s opener, while Ethan Galbraith kept the pressure with an early volley. The Swans were relentless with their attacking edge, despite some thwarted efforts by impressive play from Norwich’s Vladan Kovacevic.
As the game pressed on, Eom Jisung fed Vipotnik for his phenomenal second goal. Swansea held tight to secure their win, despite Norwich trying to sneak back in the game. Mathias Kvistgaarden headed wide, but it wasn’t enough to upset Swansea’s surge to victory.
Looking ahead, Swansea now sets their sights on a midweek League Cup clash against Manchester City. Having made four changes to their line-up after a midweek defeat to QPR, the Swans showed the spark and tenacity they’ve been recently missing. Fans are buzzing with excitement to see how they fare against Premier League giants next. Stay tuned for more thrilling football action from Swansea City! 🦢💪
