August Edit

The fixture list for the 2014–15 Premier League season was announced on 18 June 2014. Swansea began their league campaign with a 2–1 away win against Manchester United on 16 August 2014. Ki Sung-yueng put Swansea into the lead in the 28th minute with a shot from the edge of the penalty box. Wayne Rooney then scored with an overhead kick to equalise early in the second half, but Gylfi Sigurðsson scored the winning goal for Swansea in the 72nd minute.^[99] A week after the victory at Old Trafford, Swansea continued their winning start to the season by beating newly promoted side Burnley 1–0 at the Liberty Stadium. Nathan Dyer scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute with a low shot.^[100] Swansea finished August with a home game against West Bromwich Albion. Two goals from Dyer and volley from Wayne Routledge saw Swansea win the game 3–0. Three successive wins at the start of the season ensured that this was Swansea's best start to a season for 91 years.^[101] Garry Monk was named Premier League Manager of the Month for August.^[102]

September Edit

Swansea suffered their first defeat of the season when they travelled to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Swansea took the lead when John Terry scored an own goal by deflecting a Neil Taylor cross into his own net. Diego Costa levelled the match at 1–1 just before half-time. Costa then followed that up with two further goals in the second half to complete his hat-trick. Loïc Rémy scored Chelsea's fourth goal, before Jonjo Shelvey scored a consolation goal for the Swans in the 86th minute to finish the match 4–2.^[103] Swansea next faced Southampton on 20 September. Wilfried Bony was sent off in the 39th minute courtesy of two yellow cards, but Swansea managed to stay in the game until the 80th minute, before Victor Wanyama scored the only goal of the game to give Southampton a 1–0 win.^[104] Swansea's run of two consecutive defeats came to an end when they travelled to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland. Swansea managed to keep a clean sheet and earned a 0–0 draw, despite Àngel Rangel's dismissal in the 81st minute for two yellow cards. Swansea finished the month in fifth place.^[105]

October Edit

On 4 October, Swansea took the lead twice against Newcastle United with goals from Routledge and Bony, however Papiss Cissé equalised on both occasions to finish the match 2–2.^[106] On 19 October, Swansea travelled away to take on Stoke City. Swansea were awarded a penalty kick in the 34th minute thanks to Ryan Shawcross committing a foul on Bony. Bony scored the resulting penalty to make it 1–0. Charlie Adam then scored a penalty for Stoke, as Àngel Rangel was adjudged to have fouled Victor Moses inside the penalty area. Jonathan Walters then scored the winning goal for Stoke in the 76th minute.^[107] After the game Garry Monk claimed that Victor Moses had dived for the penalty, and that he was “disgusted” with referee Michael Oliver for awarding it. Monk was subsequently warned by the FA over his conduct in media interviews, but was not charged over the statements.^[108] Swansea's final game of October came against Leicester City at the Liberty Stadium. Bony scored two goals either side of half time to win the game 2–0.^[109]

[table_note_res_ELGS0.71841931609363-98] Since winners of the 2014–15 FA Cup, Arsenal, and winners of the 2014–15 Football League Cup, Chelsea, qualified for the Champions League based on league position, the spot awarded to the FA Cup winners (Europa League group stage) was passed to the sixth-placed team, Liverpool, and the spot awarded to the League Cup winners (Europa League third qualifying round) was passed to the seventh-placed team, Southampton, since those teams were the first teams in the table not already qualified for any European competition.
