Swansea City v Watford

Swansea City climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone with a gritty win against Watford.

With new head coach Francesco Guidolin watching from the stands, Swansea edged an uneventful first half thanks to Ashley Williams' header.

Watford's Miguel Britos and Jose Manuel Jurado had chances to equalise but the Swans defended stoically to hold on.

Swansea, who are now 17th in the table, almost got a second but substitute Bafetimbi Gomis hit a post late on.
