On this day two years ago...
These days, Luke Moore finds himself playing for Major League Soccer side Chivas USA, but two years ago today he was busy endearing himself to Swansea City fans by scoring the only goal in one of our most impressive wins to date in the FA Premier League.

Our first season in the Premiership saw us impose our brand of passing football on pretty much anyone we came up against, and that season we'd go on to beat Arsenal, Liverpool & Man City at the Liberty, but the Man City game in particular was a real turn-up for the books. Liverpool were at the time yet to be rejuvenated by Rodgers (because he was still in charge of us), while Arsenal were...well, Arsenal are pretty unpredictable aren't they? Man City though, they were as now - a team of galacticos expensively assembled who would go on to win the Premier League that season. That's what made the result all the more impressive.
That first season saw us announce ourselves on the big stage, and fingers crossed we'll be sticking around in the Premiership for a long time to come. It's more than possible that we could go a long time without beating Man City again, so this result really will live long in the memory and I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for Luke Moore as a result. Thanks Luke, and good luck in the MLS.
