Jason Scotland was credited with both goals

Chris Herd was twice denied by Swansea keeper Dorus de Vries as the hosts threatened early on.

But Jason Scotland broke the deadlock at the other end with a second-half penalty when Andy Robinson was fouled.

Vale pushed for an equaliser but with 14 minutes to go Ferrie Bodde sealed the win touching over the rebound from Tom Butler's strike against the post.
