Swansea City have a new No1 fan after dispatching West Ham 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium to reach the summit of the Premier League – for a few hours at least.

Staying true to their passing philosophy implemented by former boss Roberto Martinez and cultivated by Brendan Rodgers, Michael Laudrup’s men continue to win plenty of plaudits, Fabregas chief among them.
