Swansea's record signing Danny Graham scored his first goal for the newly-promoted Welsh club in a 2-0 win over Stoke on Sunday in the Premier League.

Scott Sinclair opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the ninth minute after Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross made a rash challenge on Wayne Routledge.

Graham made sure of the win with five minutes remaining.

He came out on top in a challenge with Jonathan Woodgate to calmly fire home his first club goal since moving from Watford for 3.5 million pounds ($5.7 million).
