Comfort for Swans but more misery for Argyle

SWANSEA City eased their relegation concerns with a 3-0 win over Plymouth Argyle that added to those of the visitors.

- 

Lewis O'Brien, Harry Darling and Josh Key scored first-half goals as Swansea moved above the Sky Bet Championship's traditional 50-point safety mark.

Caretaker manager Alan Sheehan has now taken 14 points from eight League games since taking the reins following the departure of Luke Williams in February.

While Swansea, now 14th with 51 points, can surely look forward to another season of Championship football next season, Plymouth are fast running out of time to retain their second-tier status.

Adam Randell forced Swansea goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux to scramble across his line and push out a well-struck free kick at 1-0, but this was a dismal Plymouth performance with so much at stake.

Argyle remain five points from Derby County in 21st with five games to play and are further disadvantaged by their woeful goal difference of minus 39.
