Swans boss Roberto Martinez stuck with the same side that won 4-1 at Bournemouth in their last outing.

It meant the returning Andy Robinson, Leon Britton, Alan Tate and Darryl Duffy had to be content with a place in the bench.

Martinez also include Kevin Austin and decided to go without a second goalkeeper in David Knight.

Swansea arrived at Yeovil looking for their first ever win at Huish Park after four straight defeats during which they have also failed to score.

Yeovil, two points and two places behind the Swans in eighth place, included experienced striker Marcos Stewart in their line up after he recovered from a hamstring injury.

Over 1400 Swans fans made the trip to Somerset to get a soaking being the goal in the open terrace as Dorus de Vries was forced into a fantastic save after just seven minutes from Kevin Betsy.

Swansea slowly started to take charge after an opening 20 minutes and the Swansea faithful were celebrating after 39 minutes when Jason Scotland broke the goal drought when he latched on to a pass from Paul Anderson to put the Swans ahead with his seventh goal of the season.

It was the perfect end to a closely contested first-half that Swansea just edged.

But all their good work was wiped out three minutes after the restart when Angel Rangel conceded a free-kick for a foul on Justin Cochrane.

Anthony Barry delivered the free-kick which was met by Kevin Betsy with a downward header which beat de Vries.

Swansea had to defend well for a 15-minute spell after that before Ferrie Bodde grabbed the winner with a shot from just inside the area after a fantastic build up for his second of the season.
