US EditionZan Vipotnik earns Swansea victory at Oxford
Vipotnik’s 12th goal of the season secured Swansea’s first away win since September and extended their lead over the relegation zone to seven points, officials said.
- This month, Swansea City secured a 1-0 win at the Kassam Stadium as Zan Vipotnik headed home an early, match-winning strike from Josh Tymon’s cross, completing a Championship double over Oxford United.
- A seven-point cushion now separates Swansea City from the relegation zone, giving them valuable points that aid their bid to climb away from relegation.
- Ethan Galbraith fed Josh Tymon, whose left-wing cross was met by Vipotnik for the match's only goal, his 12th of the season.
- Oxford United slipped back into the bottom three after the loss, increasing pressure on interim boss Craig Short, while Swansea secured their first away win under Vitor Matos and extended their run to four wins from six.
- The result could let Matos start to look up over the coming weeks as the seven-point buffer offers comfort, while Oxford's ongoing vacancy with Short interim complicates their prospects.
