Half-Time Report: Ki Sung-yueng finish cancels out opener from Ander Herrera

Swansea City and Manchester United find themselves level at 1-1 at the Liberty Stadium as Ki Sung-yueng's finish cancels out an impressive opener from Ander Herrera.

Swansea City and Manchester United are currently locked at 1-1 in the Premier League after Ki Sung-yueng's finish cancelled out an impressive opener from Ander Herrera at the Liberty Stadium.

United had their backs to the wall early on when Gylfi Sigurdsson picked out Bafetimbi Gomis, who saw his header beat David de Gea before it was cleared off the line by Herrera.

Louis van Gaal's men were under the cosh from the kickoff and Gomis returned again to threaten the United defence from a corner, only for his second headed effort to fly over the bar without troubling De Gea.

Despite the early pressure, United almost took the lead in the 15th minute through Robin van Persie, but he flashed an effort across the face of goal after Angel Di Maria's set piece.

Lukasz Fabianski had to be alert five minutes later as Wayne Rooney found just enough space to get a shot off towards the bottom corner, which was obligingly kept out by the Polish stopper.

Some United fans have called for Herrera to feature more in the Premier League and he stated his case for more starts with a fine strike across the face of goal to put the visitors ahead in the 28th minute.

Their lead was to last just two minutes, however, as Jonjo Shelvey turned in a delivery to the near post, where Ki broke past some poor defending to tuck into the bottom-right corner.
