Swansea 2 - 0 QPR
The Swans celebrated a first league win over QPR in 44 years with two second-half goals against their nine-man opponents.
Despite a slow start the home side had the lions share of possession but couldn't convert during the first 45 minutes of play.
The R's were at a disadvantage early in the second period when skipper Martin Rowlands was shown his second yellow and it wasn't long after that when Mark Gower fired the Swans in front with his first ever league goal for the club.
Ben Watson was QPR's second man to walk and with less than five minutes remaining substitute Lee Trundle popped up with the second goal to make it five games unbeaten for Paulo Sousa's side.
Paulo was handed a welcome boost with the return of no fewer than three players from injury.
Leon Britton was passed fit to start in midfield while Andrea Orlandi and Cedric van der Gun made the bench.
There was a first competitive start of the season for Darren Pratley, Stephen Dobbie returned to lead the Swans' front-line and Nathan Dyer was back on the wing after serving a one-game ban.
