Swansea 1 - 0 Watford
Swansea City climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone with a gritty win against Watford.
With new head coach Francesco Guidolin watching from the stands, Swansea edged an uneventful first half thanks to Ashley Williams' header.
Watford's Miguel Britos and Jose Manuel Jurado had chances to equalise but the hosts defended stoically to hold on.
Swansea -who are now 17th in the table - almost got a second, but substitute Bafetimbi Gomis hit a post late on.
Having started the season in sparkling fashion, the Hornets' fourth straight loss leaves them eight points above the bottom three.
The spectre of relegation still looms large for Swansea, but this crucial victory sees the Welsh side leapfrog Newcastle to go one point above the bottom three.
