Swansea virtually secured Premier League survival and West Bromwich Albion moved closer to safety on Saturday but Fulham blew a chance to move out of the relegation zone.

Jonjo Shelvey scored an eye-catching volley in a 4-1 victory for 12th-placed Swansea over Aston Villa, which is just four points and two places from the drop zone.

Saido Berahino gave West Brom a 1-0 victory over West Ham that took the team five points clear of danger.

But Fulham threw away a two-goal lead at home to Hull to draw 2-2 and remain in the drop zone.

At the top of the standings, Everton's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were hit by a 2-0 loss at Southampton which kept the visitors in fifth place.
