Substitute Luke Moore scored his first Premier League goal of the season to give Swansea a hard-earned win against Newcastle at the Liberty Stadium.
Moore scored an 85th-minute shot from six yards takes Swansea to 40 points, which lifts them to seventh in the table.
Newcastle were not without their chances as they hit the crossbar and forced a series of saves from top goalkeeper Michel Vorm in the second half.
But Alan Pardew’s team now drop to 15th place in the Premier League, 10 points behind Michael Laudrup’s high-flying Swansea.
