Liverpool (B2B) - Dua gol dari Jordan Henderson membawa Liverpool menang tipis 4-3 dari Swansea untuk kukuh di posisi empat klasemen dengan mengoleksi 56 poin.
Daniel Sturridge membawa Liverpool unggul cepat pada menit kedua dan 17 menit kemudian disusul gol Henderson.
Swansea menyusul lewat Jonjo Shelvey lewat tembakan terukur dari jarak 20 yard, kemudian menyamakan kedudukan menjadi 2-0 pada menit 27 lewat Wilfried Bony.
Sturridge menciptakan gol keduanya untuk membawa Liverpool unggul kembali 3-2 pada menit 36, seperti dilansir BBC.
Namun dari titik penalti Bony kembali membuat Swansea menyamakan kedudukan menjadi 3-3 pada menit 47.
Pada menit 74, Henderson menciptakan gol keduanya yang sekaligus menjadi penentu kemenangan Liverpool.
"Kami memiliki organisasi yang bagus, semua orang tahu fungsinya dalam tim, dan semua bekerja tanpa lelah demi mencapai hasil," kata pelatih The Reds Brendan Rodgers.
Liverpool kini telah memenangi sepuluh dari 11 laga terakhirnya di Liga Premier, dan berselisih empat poin dari pemuncak klasemen Chelsea.
Liverpool - Jordan Henderson's second strike of the game ensured Liverpool saw off Swansea to stay clear in fourth place.
Daniel Sturridge finished a quick break after two minutes before Henderson bent in an impressive second for the hosts.
But Jonjo Shelvey pulled one back with a fine 20-yard shot and Wilfried Bony headed in off Martin Skrtel to level.
Sturridge headed in his second from Luis Suarez's cross but Bony pulled Swansea level from the penalty spot before Henderson stabbed in the winner.
The best and worst of Liverpool was once again on show as the Reds closed the gap to Premier League leaders Chelsea to four points.
But manager Brendan Rodgers was once again relying on his team's attacking class to override its defensive deficiencies as they maintained their bid to end a five-season exile from the Champions League.
There were flashes of fine forward play as Sturridge became only the second player to score in eight consecutive Premier League matches, taking his tally to 18 league goals for the season in the process.
The Reds are now the Premier League's top scorers with 70 goals but looked ragged at the back far too often for Rodgers's comfort.
