The Swansea City history book can go back on the shelf unedited after Luke Williams’ class of 2024-25 avoided the need to add a new line.

Zan Viptotnik and Florian Bianchini found the target at Oxford United as Swansea’s run without a goal ended one game short of a club-record-equalling six successive league matches.

The joy of scoring at the Kassam Stadium was mixed with relief, with a weight lifted off Swansea’s collective shoulders now their barren run is over.

Williams would not have cared who scored, but the fact that two forward players who have struggled in the early months of the season found the target will make the goals a little sweeter for Swansea’s head coach.

He has had little choice but to back the players at his disposal, because to come out and criticise their wastefulness in recent weeks would almost certainly have been counter-productive.

But privately, too, he has insisted Vipotnik has the tools to score goals regularly in the Championship, while suggesting the Slovenian just needs time to come to terms with the tempo of the English second tier.

While he still has plenty of room for improvement, former Bordeaux striker Vipotnik has looked more at home in his last couple of games.

It was no shock, therefore, to see him turn up in the right place at the right time to sweep Swansea in front at Oxford.
