The fate of every Swansea City star from minute-of-madness Stoke City game that sparked unlikely survival five years on

Friday marks the five-year anniversary of the match that saw Paul Clement’s Swansea City spearhead their survival efforts.

Clement's side would eventually go on to finish 15th and a healthy seven points clear of the drop having collected 13 of the final 15 points on offer.

Referred to as the minute-of-madness game, Swansea beat Mark Hughes’ Stoke City 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium. The minute in question refers to Marko Arnautovic blazing over a penalty over in the 69th minute, squandering a chance to draw the Potters level at 1-1. Just 60 seconds later, Tom Carroll’s strike deflected wickedly, ironically off ex-Swansea stalwart Joe Allen, over Jack Butland and handed Clement’s side three vital points.
