Swansea City 1-2 Liverpool Highlights (Liverpool come from behind at Swansea) #SWAvLFC

James Milner's late penalty gave Liverpool a hard-fought victory over Swansea, increasing the scrutiny on Swans boss Francesco Guidolin.

Leroy Fer gave the hosts a first-half lead when he steered the ball home from close range at the back post after Baston Borja's knockdown from a corner.

Roberto Firmino levelled shortly after half-time when he headed in from Jordan Henderson's cross.

Match Highlights:

Milner netted the winner six minutes from time after Firmino was fouled.

The Liverpool midfielder's goal was just reward a dominant second half from his team, who have now won four Premier League games in a row.

It was, however, a little cruel on Swansea, whose spirited performance has probably bought Guidolin a little more time to turn things around.

The Swans remain one point above the relegation zone and have not won in the league since the opening day of the season.

But the club's owners had indicated before the game that the manner of performances would have as much of a bearing on Guidolin's future as the results.

Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin:

"The players gave me a good answer. Our relationship is good. There is no problem between me and my players.

"I don't know [about the future]. It's not my decision. It's just for me to prepare for the game and the team. I know the situation. It's a possibility. The important thing is to prepare with patience.

"Before the game I saw the new owners Jason [Levien] and Steve [Kaplan] just to say 'hello'. I don't know if in the next day there's meeting."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp:

"I thought we could have done better in the first half. Our body language was not good, we were static and it was easy to defend against us. We are not as good as we should have been.

"You have to show why we are here. We showed a reaction, were more organised, clear in all situations and we deserved to win. Of course I am happy we have had two or three brilliant games in a row.

"If Milner is our top scorer at end of the season with penalties, I have no problem with it. All is good. The performance was not perfect but it was good enough."

What's next?

After the international break, Swansea face another tough game in the Premier League when they head to Arsenal on Saturday, 15 October (15:00 BST). Liverpool face fierce rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Monday, 17 October (20:00 BST).
