Premier League 2 Division 2 leaders Swansea City beat West Ham United 3-2 despite a late comeback from the Hammers at Dagenham.

George Byers gave Swansea the lead on the half hour mark and Botti Biabi made it 2-0 five minutes after the break.

When Byers converted an 84th minute penalty for Swansea's third it looked all over, but Antonio Martinez quickly pulled one back and then Domingos Quina scored in the first minute of stoppage time.

But Swansea held on and remain eight points clear of Wolverhampton Wanderers at the top. West Ham are fifth.
