Oli McBurnie scored his ninth Premier League 2 goal of the season as Swansea City beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 to move within one point of the Division 2 title.

McBurnie headed the winner in the 71st minute at Aggborough, but the Swans had a scare at the end when Tahvon Campbell hit the bar.

Swansea are now 13 points clear of second-placed Fulham, who only have four matches remaining, but the Welsh can be caught by third-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, who need to win all five of their remaining matches and hope the leaders lose their last three.
