SWANSEA: Swansea moved out of the relegation zone following a slender 1-0 win over Watford in the English Premier League last night in front of newly-appointed head coach Francesco Guidolin.
Guidolin’s arrival was confirmed by Swansea earlier yesterday and the 60-year-old was in the stands at the Liberty Stadium to see captain Ashley Williams head in the winner shortly before the half-hour mark.
The loss condemned Watford to their fourth straight league defeat following a run of four consecutive wins that had led to manager Quique Sanchez Flores earning the manager of the month award for December.
Watford midfielder Jose Manuel Jurado had the visitors’ best opportunities to level, sending a shot wide in the 66th before missing with a volley in the closing stages.
