Alvaro Negredo scored twice as Middlesbrough eased to a comfortable home win that sent struggling Swansea deeper into the relegation zone.
Negredo’s excellent first-time finish from Adam Clayton’s cross came against the run of play after a bright Swansea opening.
But by the time Jordi Amat tripped Adam Forshaw in the box and Negredo coolly slotted in Boro’s first penalty of the season, the home side were well on top.
Gaston Ramirez’s excellent pass was cushioned home by Marten de Roon as Boro wrapped up their fourth win since promotion from last year’s Championship.
Aitor Karanka’s side move up to 14th in the Premier League table, four points from the bottom three.
