Second-half goals from Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis earned Swansea City a stirring 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Sunday as Garry Monk's side went fourth in the English Premier League.
Juan Mata's 48th-minute strike put United ahead at the Liberty Stadium, but Swansea hit back with quick-fire goals to take all three points and edge Louis van Gaal's men into fifth place. It was a third successive league win over United for Swansea and ended the visitors' unbeaten record, bringing them down to earth after their mid-week 4-0 win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.
Earlier on Sunday, Dusan Tadic scored a quick-fire brace as Southampton beat ten-man Norwich City 3-0 at St Mary's to record a first win of the Premier League campaign. Seventh last season, Ronald Koeman's Southampton had drawn two and lost one of their first three games, but victory lifted them into the top half of the table, one point above promoted Norwich.
After Norwich right-back Steven Whittaker had been sent off for two bookable offences, Graziano Pelle opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time and Serbia winger Tadic struck twice in the second half. It was the first time that 34-year-old Norwich manager Alex Neil had tasted defeat in an away league game since his appointment in January.
