Premier League round-up:Gylfi Sigurdsson was again on target as Swansea picked up a third successive victory with a 3-0 victory against lacklustre Fulham today.

The on-loan Hoffenheim midfielder netted either side of the break to set the Welsh outfit on course for victory.

Sigurdsson has now netted four goals for the Swans and had today’s efforts complemented by a late Joe Allen goal.

Wigan, who have managed just 25 goals in 29 games, dominated the first half but were out of luck in front of goal, with Emmerson Boyce and James McCarthy both hitting the bar among many fine chances.

They finally found the back of the net nine minutes after the breakthrough James McArthur, but Scharner headed in a corner to level matters and a late flurry from the hosts came to nothing.
