City are suddenly close to challenging for a playoff spot.Vitor Matos’ side may be lying 15th in the Championship, but they are only five points adrift of the top six in an extremely congested division.

Goncalo Franco opened the scoring after 19 minutes. Zan Vipotnik’s second-half double - the Championship's top scorer now has 15 league goals - and a late fourth from substitute Malick Yalcouye earned Swansea another home win.
