Swansea City have their destiny in their own hands after victory over Everton.

Swansea moved out of the Premier League relegation zone as Fernando Llorente's first-half header gave them a precious 1-0 victory over Everton.

Llorente's 13th goal of the season saw Swansea leapfrog Hull into 17th place, the Tigers punished for their earlier home defeat to already relegated Sunderland.

Swansea are now one point above Hull and firmly in charge of their own destiny with two games of the season remaining.

“It's a fantastic win for us at this point in the season when the stakes are so high," Swans boss Paul Clement said.

“I was in confident mood going into the game based on our performances against Stoke and Manchester United.

“Coming back here, I had a feeling there would be a good atmosphere, and our supporters were unbelievable today. The way they got behind the players was superb.

“We played against a really good team. We didn't have as much of the ball as we would have liked, especially in the second half when we got penned in a bit.

“But it was a magnificent defensive effort to get the right result. In the end, it was determination, spirit and perseverance that got us the win."
