Gylfi Sigurdsson says Swansea's game-plan worked perfectly against Liverpool

Swansea, who were bottom of the table going into the game, took a 2-0 lead through two Fernando Llorente goals before a Roberto Firmino brace pulled the hosts back.

But Sigurdsson was on hand to slot past Simon Mignolet in the 74th minute to cap off a frantic second half and deliver a severe title blow to Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Iceland international believes Paul Clement's game-plan was executed perfectly and has also singled-out Swansea's defence for praise.
