A late penalty from York striker Peter Duffield was enough to earn the Minstermen three points against Swansea at the Vetch Field.

Swansea started the game the stronger side with Lee Jenkins twice coming close within the first five minutes.

But it was the visitors who opened the scoring after Lee Bullock scrambled the ball home following a Graham Potter corner on the half-hour mark.

After the break, Jon Parkin had a great chance to make it two for the visitors, but Roger Freestone blocked his goal-bound shot.

David Moss appeared to have rescued a point for the Swans after 77 minutes, but Paul Reid was adjudged to have fouled Duffield in the area.

And the in-form marksman made no mistake in converting the spot-kick with nine minutes remaining.
