Tammy Abraham scored both goals as Swansea City recorded their first home win in the Premier League this season, defeating Huddersfield Town 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

The Welsh club had lost three from three in front of their own fans but benefited from two fortunate breaks to pick up a much-needed victory that lifts them out of the relegation zone.
A shocking pass from goalkeeper Jonas Lossl allowed Tom Carroll to set up Abraham – who also scored twice against Huddersfield in the Championship last season when on loan at Bristol City – to grab the game’s crucial opening goal in the 42nd minute.

Aaron Mooy’s sliding tackle inadvertently teed up the striker’s second early in the second half, Abraham tapping home from virtually on the line to take his tally for the campaign to five in all competitions.

The result means Swansea now sit 13th in the Premier League standings, just a point behind the Terriers, who continue their slide down the table.

Swansea flew out of the blocks in the first top-flight meeting between the pair and looked like they might catch the Terriers out early on with a number of bright forays down the right flank.

But Huddersfield grew into the game after being initially startled and though he blazed over, Tom Ince had a great chance to open the scoring when he met Rajiv van La Parra’s teasing cross from the left after 27 minutes.
