Paul Clement emerged for the post-match press conference with his tie removed and his shirt collar loosened slightly. It was down to the unexpected mid-October heat, he said, but a sense of a weight being lifted was palpable nonetheless. Swansea’s early vigour had faded when the Dane, receiving a straightforward back-pass three minutes before half-time, paused to assess his options. Instead he looked for a short pass that simply was not there, presenting the ball to Carroll. He made straight for the penalty area and centred for Tammy Abraham, who scored the first of his two goals.
