EUROPA LEAGUE - Group A: Swansea suffer defeat at hands of Valencia

Swansea City have had the tables turned on them by Spanish side Valencia in the Europa League.

The Swans beat Los Che 3-0 at the Mestalla in September but Miroslav Dukic's side managed to get the better of Michael Laudrup's men at the Liberty Stadium.

Daniel Parejo scored the only goal of the contest, knocking home a deflection from Juan Bernat's initial effort after 20 minutes, which kept Valencia top of the Group A table but allowing them to go four points clear of the second-placed Swans.

With Russian side Kuban Krasnodar beating St Gallen 4-0 in the other match, it sets up a very tense final group fixture for Swansea when they travel to Switzerland on December 12.

The Jacks will be hoping they can at least force a draw at St Gallen and hope that Valencia can do the job against Kuban just in case they happen to lose to the Swiss outfit.
