Swansea City has almost guaranteed their Premier League status by thrashing Aston Villa 4-1 on Saturday at the Liberty Stadium, leaving the visitors in danger of relegation.
The result leaves Villa just four points above the relegation zone with three games to go while Swansea's first back-to-back wins in the Premier League since December 2012 means they are 12th in the table, eight points clear of the bottom three.
