Swansea City cling on for victory over Derby County after early goals from Zan Vipotnik and Ronald despite a spirited Rams fightback at Pride Park.
Swansea City clung on for victory over Derby County after early goals from Zan Vipotnik and Ronald despite a spirited Rams fightback at Pride Park.
After Kayden Jackson wasted a glorious chance, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing cut the deficit from the spot following Cyrus Christie's foul on Tom Barkhuizen. Yates was allowed to leave Swansea on loan in the summer despite netting nine times last season, with some questioning the wisdom of that decision given the Welsh side's goalscoring struggles in this campaign.
The home crowd aired their frustrations, partly at the referee - after penalty appeals following Ben Cabango's challenge on Callum Elder were ignored - and partly at their own team.Yet the atmosphere turned as Swansea creaked at a couple of corners, with Curtis Nelson and Jackson seeing efforts cleared off the line.
"I thought Derby were excellent in terms of the way they regrouped and the energy they threw at the game. They caused us a lot of problems and we didn’t have an answer particularly for that.
