George Burley

Crystal Palace sank to the bottom of the Championship after a 3-0 thumping at home to Swansea.

George Burley's side have won just once in their last seven league matches and it is Palace's worst start to a season for a decade.

Former Palace loanee Scott Sinclair got day's scoring under way for the Swans after just six minutes. Edgar Davids handled Angel Rangel's cross and the referee's assistant flagged for a penalty, but advantage was played and Sinclair netted.

Julian Speroni made an outsanding save in the 70th minute by turning a vicious strike from Nathan Dyer over the bar. From the resulting corner Swansea Alan Tate flicked on Orlandi's flag kick for Darren Pratley to find the net with ease.

And Joe Allen put the match out of reach for the Eagles on 80 minutes after some good work from Pratley.

Palace: Speroni, Clyne, McCarthy, Barrett, Wright, Davids (N'Diaye 81), Zaha, Dorman, Garvan (Obika 33), Djilali (Ambrose 60), Vaughan.

Not Used: Price, Andrew, Bennett, Counago.

Swansea: De Vries, Rangel, Williams, Tate, Taylor, Dyer, Pratley, Orlandi (Donnelly 81), Allen, Sinclair, Emnes (Dobbie 63).

Not Used: Ma-Kalambay, Cotterill, Beattie, Walsh, Alfei.
