SWANSEA 2-2 PSV
The PSV faithful have asked Santa to bring them the only thing they dont have for Christmas.... luck!
Any other club in the league would be delighted at losing only 3 times in their last 10 games as they fight to stay out of the relegation zone but long suffering PSV diehards are now feeling their club is cursed after a string of games where they have clutched a draw or a defeat from the eyes of victory in recent matches that they have totally dominated.
On Sunday PSV were the visitors at the Liberty Stadium as they faced a fine Swansea side proudly sitting in 6th place and looking to build on their fine form as they dream of getting in and winning promotion via the playoffs.
The home side certainly started the better and deservidly took the lead after only 6 minutes when Seferovic played a fine pass through for Weiss who knocked it in off the post passed a motionless Bravo.
The keeper was anything but motionless 6 minutes later as he pulled off a World class save tipping away a Radoja attempt after he received a fine ball from Jiminez from a corner kick.
The game was finelly balanced as Swansea's better players failed to deal with PSV's tactical supremacy and the Dutch cracks finally got a deserved equaliser on 38 minutes through a Luuk De Jong strike from a clever Destro pass 1-1
PSV stepped up a gear after the break and only astring of fine saves from Marchesin around the half hour mark stopped the visitors from deservedly going in front.
Swansea took the lead againt the run of play in the 74th minute as Jiminez found the net with a cracking strike from a disputed freekick but they should have been down to 10 men in the 84th minute when Douglas was only given a yellow card after much deliberation from the referee and his assistant after he commited a last man foul when he pulled De Jong back while the Dutchman was racing towards goal... the PSV Manager was also sent to the stands for arguing the decision.
Gaffer Gaz however had the perfect view of his sides equaliser, which he later told the waiting press was a stonewaller to win the goal of the season award, ashe watched Kagawa chip in a cross to man of the match Boudebouz who picked the ball out of the air with his right foot before rifling past the keeper with a dipping shot 2-2
Swansea Manager Lee Adams would have definately been the happier of the two Managers after the game as his side keep hold of their place in the playoffs.
This result leaves PSV 2 points above the bottom four with seven games to play.
