Tymon stunner gets Swansea City up and running under Vitor Matos

Josh Tymon's stunning volley inspired Swansea City to their first win under Vitor Matos as they eased past fellow Championship strugglers Oxford United at the Swansea.com Stadium.

The Swans took the lead just before half-time through Marko Stamenic, who converted a typically pinpoint cross from Tymon, who then the doubled the lead a few minutes later with a sensational first-time effort.

Oxford, for the the most part, were admittedly poor, but this victory was nevertheless an important one for Matos, who will now be hoping his side have turned a corner as they bid to pull away from the Championship dropzone.

The Swans move ahead of Oxford to 20th in the table, three points ahead of Tuesday night's opponents Portsmouth.

While Tymon will get many of the plaudits, Ethan Galbraith looked Swansea's most likely source of inspiration during what was otherwise a pretty forgettable opening 20 minutes.

Zan Vipotnik flicked a header wide from the Northern Irishman's teasing cross, with the Slovenian then lashing the ball into the net around 10 minutes later, only to be denied by the offside flag.

Galbraith, starting at right-back in the absence of Josh Key, whistled an effort narrowly over the bar from 30 yards as Swansea continued to grow into the game.

And their efforts would eventually be rewarded five minutes from the interval.

A teasing freekick from Tymon found Stamenic at the far post, and the New Zealander duly nodded home for his first Swans goal.

It's the first time Swansea had scored from a setpiece all season and, incredibly, an Eom Jisung corner would inspire a sensational second on the stroke of half-time.

Michael Hellik initially flicked the Korean's delivery away, but it would fall kindly for Tymon, who unleashed an
