John Hartson and Chris Sutton were in the spotlight as Swansea and Crystal Palace shared out nine goals this afternoon.

It wasn’t quite Borussia Dortmund v Legia Warsaw but there was enough goals to keep the former Celtic strikers busy on BT Sport.

As Sutton enjoyed a goal frenzy the Welshman was put through agony as his home-town club finally got over the line.

Two goals in stoppage time from Fernando Llorente gave the home-side full points just as Alan Pardew looked to be coming up with the win to keep the vultures at bay.

After the match Bob Bradley was quick to claim the result as the turning point in Swansea’s season but it looks like being an intense battle at the bottom of the table to avoid the drop.

With just five points separating eight clubs at the bottom of the table it looks certain that there will be plenty more afternoons of drama to test the nerve of Hartson while Sutton revels in the spotlight.
