Liverpool have moved back to within two points of the Premier League's Top Four.
Jordan Henderson got the only goal in a 1-0 victory over their hosts Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
After withstanding a barrage from the Swans in the opening half, the Reds claimed all three points thanks to a large slice of luck after an attempted clearance bounced off Henderson's shin before looping into the net.
