Saturday was a big day for Bob Bradley.

With his Swansea City side without a win since he took charge of the club, the visit of fellow strugglers Crystal Palace - on a run of five defeats in their last five league outings - represented a real chance to start moving in the right direction. In the end, they got there. Having thrown away a 3-1 lead to trail 4-3 as the game reached stoppage time, a couple of Fernando Llorente goals turned the result on its head. This dramatic last-gasp win, coupled with Sunderland's defeat at Anfield, was enough to lift the Swans off the bottom of the Premier League table by a point. Swansea City v Crystal Palace - Premier League But while the majority of talk after the match centred on the significance of such a result for Bradley and Alan Pardew, the American's post-match interview - more specifically his pronunciation of 'Pardew' - proved to be a talking point in itself.
