Swansea City players are to cover the matchday tickets for all away fans at Sunderland this week.

The Swans have put Premier League survival back in their own hands after their 1-0 victory over Everton saw them jump above Hull in the table.

The trip to the Stadium of Light is one of the longest of the season, but all 3,000 travelling supporters will have their match ticket paid for by the players.

"It is a shame we can't bring all the fans," Swans boss Paul Clement told the BBC following the win over Everton.

"The players paying for the supporters' tickets came from Leon Britton and I thought it was a brilliant idea."
