Manchester United lost momentum in the battle for Champions League places after seeing a 19-game unbeaten run come to an end in a 2-1 defeat at Swansea City in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Ander Herrera celebrated his return by putting United ahead in the 28th minute, only for Ki Sung-yueng to equalise almost immediately from Jonjo Shelvey’s cross.
Swansea made it 2-1 in the 73rd minute when Shelvey’s 25-yard shot flicked off teammate Bafetimbi Gomis and flew past United goalkeeper David de Gea.
The win helped Swansea complete a first-ever home-and-away league double over United.
Elsewhere, leader Chelsea was held 1-1 by Burnley.
In the La Liga, Barcelona’s title hopes were dealt a huge blow as Malaga stunned the Camp Nou with a 1-0 win. Juanmi grabbed the only goal of the game after just seven minutes.
