It was late heartbreak for Tim Sherwood and Aston Villa as Bafetimbi Gomis struck late to hand Swansea all three points.
It could have been a heavier score-line; both Brad Guzan and Ciaran Clark came to Villa's rescue, notably preventing Gomis from scoring on a number of occasions in the first half.
The hosts awoke following a half-time seeing to from Sherwood, and in the second half they shaded proceedings.
Ultimately their efforts were in vain.
Agbonlahor had the best chance of the match for the Villans when he collected Christian Benteke's knock down in the penalty area, but he didn't make sufficient contact when he should have done better.
Scott Sinclair, too, came close to netting against his former employers, both before and after Gomis' goal, but Sherwood's mini-revival has been, temporarily at least, cut short.
Swansea, intricate in their passing and movement, carved the first chance of the match when quick feet from Gylfi Sigurdsson allowed Neil Taylor to pull the ball back for Gomis, but Guzan stood up to the test.
