For the first time since joining Swansea City in October, Bob Bradley has guided the team to victory and made history.
The Swans blew a 3-1 lead Saturday but got two goals in injury time from Spanish striker Fernando Llorente to earn a brilliant 5-4 win over Crystal Palace, as Bradley became the first American manager ever to win a Premier League game.
Just call Fernando Llorente "Mr. Clutch." #PLonNBChttps://t.co/yXjBjkMJua

Bradley's first game was on Oct. 15, and the team had lost three and drawn two.
With the win, Swansea moved from last place to 19th, but the team is still two points deep in the relegation zone.
His task is to help Swansea survive and not be relegated to the Championship, where the team hasn't played since 2010-11. The club currently has nine points, and 40 points is generally a safe spot. Still a lot of work to be done, but Saturday was a big three points.
