Jonjo Shelvey might have grabbed the headlines for his stunning winner, but Swansea fans had no less reason to thank Ashley Williams for their three points at Southampton.

The Wales defender was a titan at the heart of the Swans defence, no more so than this double goalline clearance that preserved his side's one goal lead late on. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/561947851333197826 Southampton had dominated much of the game but couldn't find a way past Williams and company, leaving Shelvey the opportunity to claim the points with Swansea's only shot on target.
