Jordan Ayews' Swansea City have fallen to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, who scored three late goals to snatch victory in Wednesday's Premier League clash at the Liberty Stadium.

The Ghanaian international created Swansea's first goal in the 11th minute after he dribbled past Ben Davies and cut the ball back for Wayne Routledge to drill home.

Each side had a penalty shout waved away by referee Jon Moss just after the restart, Ayew going to ground after turning past Toby Alderweireld before Son saw a shot from six yards out deflected wide by Federico Fernandez, who had his arm outstretched as the ball hit his side.

In the latter stages of the 90 minutes saw the hosts' composure slip as Tottenham upped the pressure, and eventually the visitors were able to get on level terms through Alli, who tapped into the unguarded net after Christian Eriksen's shot had deflected into his path.

Son struck in the 92nd minute, sliding the ball beneath Fabianski from six yards out after being set up by Janssen, and Alli's fine ball was steered into the bottom corner by Eriksen two minutes later to cap a remarkable Tottenham turnaround and secure a fifth league win in a row.
