SWANSEA, England -- Bob Bradley celebrated his first win as Swansea manager when Fernando Llorentes stoppage-time double clinched a wild 5-4 victory over Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday.Swansea led 3-1 with 15 minutes to go but faced a sixth successive winless game after going 4-3 behind by conceding three goals in nine minutes.The comeback ended Bradleys wait for a Premier League win but Palace manager Alan Pardew was condemned to a sixth loss in a row.The character of the players shone through, said Bradley, the former U.S. coach who took charge in October.It has been a difficult season and a lot of things have not bounced the right way. But we still show up every day with a great mentality, and I couldnt be happier for that group.Swansea climbed off the bottom of the 20-team standings and Palace is two points ahead in 16th.It started so well for Palace as Swanseas aerial struggles were exposed against the powerful Christian Benteke.He nodded the ball down into the path of Wilfried Zaha, who made the most of timid defending from Neil Taylor and Federico Fernandez to fire his fourth goal of the season past goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.But the mood changed inside Liberty Stadium when Jason Puncheon was adjudged to have fouled Jack Cork on the edge of the penalty area. Gylfi Sigurdsson struck a terrific free kick past Wayne Hennessey to equalize in the 36th.It was a lifeline for Swansea as the host rarely threatened up until that point, but it almost threw it away two minutes later when Zaha headed Yohan Cabayes cross against the crossbar before the ball was bundled to safety.After the break, Palace forward Connor Wickham was taken off on a stretcher with what appeared to be a knee injury.The London club was being pushed back as Sigurdsson and Modou Barrow became increasingly influential and Swansea took the lead in the 66th.Substitute Llorentes first touch proving crucial after heading toward the goal. Although Yohan Cabaye stopped the ball on the line with the possible use of an arm, Leroy Fer was primed to squeeze home the rebound. Two minutes later Palace struggled to cope with another set-piece and Fer finished again at the far post for his sixth goal of the season.But Palace gave itself a lifeline when James Tomkins bundled home before Zahas cross struck Cork and looped over Fabianski. Palace surged back in front when Benteke found the net off a post in a crowded goalmouth.But Swansea was not finished yet and Llorente diverted home a shot from Sigurdsson before prodding in the winner.I see the win as a turning point in so many ways, Bradley said. Sometimes you feel like you need something crazy and maybe (this game) can be that moment.Having said that, we cannot take the good part without looking a little deeper. After all, you wont win matches like that every day.

A spectacular try to Tevita Kuridrani, a monstrous performance by skipper David Pocock and a late missed field goal have earned the Wallabies B team a spirited 25-23 victory over France to maintain their unbeaten Spring Tour.Derided in the French press as a back-up squad, following mass changes to the starting sides which defeated Wales and Scotland, the Wallabies overcame scrum troubles and missed drop goal three minutes after the final whistle to escape Stade de France with a two-point win on Saturday night (Sunday morning AEDT).Whether they were labelled as the equipe bis or not the first team, I was just really proud of the effort, coach Michael Cheika said.We made some mistakes as well but I feel like there was a lot of commitment there from our lads.That gives them the opportunity to eye-ball each other in the dressing room after the game and say, you know what I did my job and I can look at my teammate straight in the eye and that is all there is to it.Bernard Foley was again the difference, kicking four from five and scoring a crucial try for a matchwinning haul of 15 points.France had a chance to steal the match at the death, when playmaker Camille Lopez sent a drop goal attempt wide from 35 metres out following a sustained attacking raid that Australia could only just manage to repel.The match highlighted repeatedly Australias frailties at the scrum but they were bailed out by a five-star performance from Pocock, in his first match as skipper since 2012, and lively No.8 Sean McMahon.The pair were pivotal in the Wallabies forcing 10 French turnovers - none more crucial than Pococks with three minutes to go, five metres out from thee Australian tryline.ddddddddddddeading 13-11 at halftime, Australia immediately showed their intent with the free-scoring Foley crossing three minutes after the break.Foleys superb kicking was again crucial, despite the No.10 being a late callup following a failed game-day fitness Test to Quade Cooper.Each Australian try in the second half triggered a French response - first through No.10 Jean-Marc Doussain, and later livewire centre Wesley Fofana.But Kuridranis putdown overshadowed them all.He fended off French No.6 Charles Ollivon before acrobatically planting the ball one-handed with his airborne body over the touchline.I think we all thought we were watching NRL for a moment when he went in with his whole body over the sideline, joked Cheika.Kuridranis third try in as many games gave Australia a sufficient lead for a stunning defensive effort to keep the French attacks out until well after the final whistle.Australias halftime lead seemed an unlikely outcome after France dominated the early exchanges.Feasting on a back-up Australian front row, the French lapped up early penalties and field position to take a deserved 8-0 lead through winger Virimi Vakatawa.A Foley penalty in the 20th minute halted the French charge, and Australia capitalised four minutes later when New Zealand referee Glen Jackson awarded a penalty try to the visitors.Frances Ollivon was yellow-carded for bringing down a rolling maul, steered by rookie hooker Tolu Latu, before both sides traded penalties to seal the 13-11 lead at the break.
