STEVEN BENDA 8
On his 24th birthday, the German made a fine save to deny Grady Diangana after surviving a scare following a scuffed clearance. Distribution wasn't the best and was helpless for the two West Brom goals, but produced a fine penalty save with his legs.
NATHAN WOOD 8
Made some timely interceptions and remained fully committed to Russell Martin's methods. Brave throughout.
KYLE NAUGHTON 6
Survived a nervy moment early on and a few sloppy passes gave West Brom some momentum. Played through a shoulder problem and stuck to his usual methods. Good in the air and made stacks of clearances.
BEN CABANGO 8
A force in the air and made his share of meaty tackles, earning chants of "Ben Cabango's magic" from the Jack Army. Another excellent display.
MATTY SORINOLA 8 - Star Man
Played with confidence from the outset and, after being denied by David Button from close range, the Union SG loanee nodded home his first Swansea goal from a corner. Looked very lively in attack but tracked back well as West Brom improved. Improving all the time.
JAY FULTON 7
Good on the ball in the middle of the park and did plenty of defensive work too. Subbed.
MATT GRIMES 8
The 60th consecutive occasion for the captain to play every minute of a Championship match. Had to work immensely hard in midfield and put a fine shift in.
RYAN MANNING 8
As with Sorinola, the Irishman started very well and was pivotal to his side's best attacking play. Got the assist for his fellow wing-back's opener from a corner too. Good game management at the end.
LUKE CUNDLE 7
Lively early on and was both productive and accurate in possession, although he had to do more work off the ball as the first-half wore on. Withdrawn.
OLLIE COOPER 7
As with Cundle, Cooper got into some dangerous areas but didn't see enough of the ball after Swansea went ahead. Replaced.
JOEL PIROE 7
The Dutchman oozed class early on and was unfortunate to head wide in the first-half. Found himself on the periphery after that as the Baggies went in search of an equaliser. Defended well from the front as ever.
Subs
Michael Obafemi (for Cundle) - What an impact. So composed to rifle home the winner. 7
Olivier Ntcham (for Fulton) - Sensational impact. A fine goal and got the assist for Obafemi. 8
Armstrong Oko-Flex (for Cooper) - Gave away the penalty but worked hard and played a part in Swansea's improvement in the final third. 6
Joel Latibeaudiere (for Sorinola) - Helped Swansea see out the game. 6
