Swansea 1-0 Walsall

Ferrie Bodde is congratulated by his teammates after his goal

Swansea City maintained their eight point lead at the League One summit with a 1-0 victory over Walsall.

Ferrie Bodde limped off early in the second half but fortunately for Swansea returned and he scored the decider in the 53rd minute at the Liberty Stadium.

The Dutch midfielder's 20-yard strike from Jason Scotland's cut back was his seventh this term as Swansea extended their unbeaten league run to 15 games.

Darren Pratley missed from the spot after Tom Butler was fouled in the box.
