 Goalscorers Ferrie Boddie and Darren Pratley celebrate |
Swansea opened up a five point lead at the top of League One after bouncing back from their FA Cup upset to see off strugglers Port Vale. Ferrie Bodde grabbed the first goal on 28 minutes after Tom Butler cut inside and set up the Dutchman.
Chris Herd had the chance to level for Vale but he sent his free header over the bar.
