Decisive figure's delivery unlocks Stoke for Swansea City | OneFootball

Josh Tymon created the breakthrough in the 53rd minute with a whipped cross, setting Swansea City on course to beat Stoke City 2-0.

From a quickly recycled corner, the left-back arced a precise ball that was headed in (53.). It was the signature of his game: early delivery from advanced positions that asked constant questions of the visitors' defence.

He kept forcing the issue down the left, racking up 11 crosses and two key passes. Late on, he slipped Josh Key in for a shot that was blocked in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time.

The numbers underlined his control: 56 of 59 passes completed and 19 successful final third passes, plus three tackles and five recoveries. It was incision with the ball and diligence without it.

With Swansea enjoying 66.7% possession and earning 12 corners, his high starting position stretched the back line and kept Stoke pinned, ensuring the hosts dictated the key phases.

Swansea City rise from 16th to 14th in the Championship. Swansea visit Portsmouth next. Stoke City host Ipswich Town next.

How high would you rate Tymon's performance tonight?
