Swansea returned to the Championship play-off places, coming from behind to beat relegation-threatened Wigan.

Wigan took an early lead when Nathan Byrne smartly finished a counter-attack.

Swansea levelled two minutes later as Conor Gallagher set up fellow loanee Rhian Brewster to score his first goal.

The Swans pushed for a winner in the second half and Andre Ayew provided it with a cheeky backheel.
