Kelechi Iheanacho\u2019s injury-time deflection helped Manchester City return to the top of the Premier League after beating managerless Swansea.<\/p>\n
The hosts, who lost at Stoke a week ago, struggled against the Swans, who sacked ex-boss Garry Monk on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
And after Wilfried Bony lost Ashley Williams to score against his former club, Bafetimbi Gomis\u2019 late equaliser looked like it would earn a point.<\/p>\n
But there was still time for Yaya Toure to curl in off Iheanacho.<\/p>\n
The hugely fortunate strike was a crushing blow to a rejuvenated Swansea, who were led by caretaker boss Alan Curtis and created the better chances.<\/p>\n
Yet after an almost perfect game plan, where Gomis came off the bench late on to end an 11-game goal drought in the league, Swansea slumped to a third consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n
The result means the visitors have won one of their last 12 league games and remain 15th in the table, a point above the relegation zone.
