Was the result fair?

Swansea City looked the stronger of the two sides from the start and were good value for their win. They made their early pressure count and quickly consolidated a seventh-minute lead with a second goal, and responded within five minutes when Sunderland pulled one back. While they gave their opponents plenty of the ball, Garry Monk's side always looked like they had enough to see out the win.

Sunderland's performance

Sunderland were by no means poor this afternoon, but they started slowly, possibly showing signs of a hangover from their survival celebrations earlier this week. They did not play as a team for the first 20 minutes, which gave Swansea a lead that Sunderland could not overturn. They played much better in the second half, but there was little they could do to stop three brilliant goals from the visiting team.

Swansea City's performance

Despite making numerous changes to the squad and bringing in some fringe players, Monk's side probably had one of their best performances of the season this afternoon. Jonjo Shelvey and Emnes constantly threatened while Gerhard Tremmel looked solid between the posts.

The three goals were all stunning finishes from the edge of the box which gave Vito Mannone little chance in the Sunderland goal. At times, Swansea looked a little stretched at the back, clearly missing captain Ashley Williams, but on the whole they played well.

Sports Mole's man of the match

Jonjo Shelvey: To be honest, there were a few Swansea players who were deserving of the man of the match honour, but Shelvey's performance really stood out. The midfielder constantly got the better of the Sunderland defenders, and was just as happy to take on a shot himself as well as create opportunities for his teammates.

He even helped out at the back on a couple of occasions, making at least two vital blocks. All that was missing for Shelvey was a goal, but he certainly made a significant contribution elsewhere this afternoon.

Biggest gaffe

There were no horrendous errors this afternoon, but Jordi Amat's attempted clearance in the first half could have been better. The defender tried to deflect the ball behind from a Sebastian Larsson cross, but ended up heading onto his own post shortly before the break. It was more good luck than good management that stopped him gifting Sunderland a goal.

Referee performance

There was not a lot for Chris Foy to do until stoppage time when Jozy Altidore was brought down in the box by a high challenge from Kyle Bartley. The home side wanted the penalty, and probably should have got it, but the referee was not interested. However, it would have had little impact on the overall result at that point.

What next?

Swansea City: Having just appointed Monk on a permanent basis, Swansea have a busy summer ahead of them in the transfer market.

Sunderland: There is some uncertainty over Poyet's future at Sunderland, while 11 members of the current squad are out of contract this summer, so there are a busy few weeks of negotiations and contract talks ahead for the Black Cats.
