SWANSEA came back from a goal down to defeat Manchester United 2-1 yesterday afternoon thanks to a mistake by goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Juan Mata put the visitors ahead minutes into the second half, only for Andre Ayew to equalise and Romero to allow a tame Bafatimbi Gomis shot to squirm under his body to continue Garry Monk’s 100 per cent record over Louis van Gaal.
