SWANSEA THRASHED WEST HAM UNITED WITH 4-1 VICTORY

Swansea defeated West Ham to escape the Premier League relegation zone with a 4-1 home win over lacklustre West Ham. Ki Sung-yueng, Mike van der Hoorn, Andy King and Jordan Ayew, from the penalty spot, were on target to deepen West Ham's own relegation concerns, before Michail Antonio struck a consolation goal for the visitors. The win takes Swansea above West Ham on goal difference - the teams are level on 30 points - but the two sides appear to be moving in different directions. Swansea have now taken 17 points from Carlos Carvalhal's nine games in charge, while West Ham have won only one of their last six with David Moyes' initial bounce effect seemingly over. West Ham suffered more misery when Winston Reid appeared to land awkwardly in the first half, the central defender carefully tre...
