Swansea 2-1 Wigan

Swansea eased the pressure on
manager Michael Laudrup thanks to
goals from Pablo Hernandez and
Michu in a 2-1 win over Wigan.
The visiting side responded to falling
2-0 behind through some great
improvisation form Emmerson Boyce
but could not force an equaliser.
The Swans made a bright start, Ki
Sung-Yueng dragging his effort wide
while Jonathan de Guzman's 30-yard
free-kick tested Ali Al Habsi.
Shaun Maloney was denied by Michel
Vorm after latching onto Boyce's
knockdown before Wayne Routledge
found Michu 25 yards out, but his first-
time volley flew over.
Maloney picked out Jean Beausejour,
although he failed to hit the target, but
the opening goal came after Routledge
escaped down the left and Hernandez
(65) produced a cool finish.
Two minutes later, Michu was first to
react to De Guzman's corner, steering
home the second goal with a near-
post header.
But Wigan responded with an
outrageous improvised finish from
Boyce (69), flicking home with his heel
after James McCarthy's shot fell kindly.
Arouna Kone's header was ruled out
for a marginal offside and Franco Di
Santo was denied by Vorm as the
visitors sensed an equaliser but
Swansea held out for the victory.
