Match Report

Swansea City 0-0 Wigan Athletic

Swansea City 0-0 Wigan Athletic

Goalkeeper Michel Vorm was the hero for Swansea as he saved Ben Watson’s penalty to earn the Welsh club their first Premier League point at the Liberty Stadium.

The Dutchman got down low to his right to make the stop after captain Ashley Williams gave away a 73rd minute spot-kick for a foul on Jordi Gomez.

It earned the hosts a point they thoroughly deserved after dominating large parts of the game, with Danny Graham having a series of chances and Scott Sinclair firing wide.

But they also rode their luck as second-half efforts from Gomez and Victor Moses came back off the crossbar with Vorm beaten.

Alan Tate dropped to the bench for the hosts with left-back Neil Taylor available again following suspension, while Wayne Routledge made his full debut in place of Stephen Dobbie.
