Overview
- Adam Idah came off the bench and scored with his first touch in the 66th minute to turn a 1-1 game into a 2-1 win for Swansea.
- The result marked Swansea's first victory at Stoke's bet365 Stadium in more than five years and denied Stoke three home points.
- Swansea goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux made a crucial save from Sorba Thomas shortly before Idah's strike, a moment the manager said proved pivotal.
- Stoke manager Mark Robins criticised his side for wasting an early lead and said the club need new signings, while Swansea face selection choices with Zan Vipotnik nursing a calf problem.
- Idah's goal underlines his impact off the bench — he has seven Championship goals at an efficient minutes-per-goal rate — and it strengthens his case for more game time as the transfer window closes in roughly two weeks.
