And in 16 games in charge, he’s certainly turned Swansea into a team in his own image!

They were absolutely magnificent. Mean and marvellous and probably deserved the little bit of luck that saw Tom Ince’s stoppage time header come out off the angle of the post and bar.

For ten minutes they were bright and breezy and then they were wonderful warriors, turning away everything that was thrown at them.

And they hit the Motorways for the 259 mile trip back to South Wales with what could be their most valuable point of the season despite playing most of the game without Jordan Ayew.

Starting what was only his second game alongside brother Andre since his £18 million return from West Ham, he was back in the dressing room after only 11 minutes!

It wasn’t a difficult decision for Michael Oliver to even though he took his time before brandishing the red.

Ayew had gone in studs up but there could have been few complaints had he also dispatched Town skipper Jonathan Hogg in the halfway line clash.

Carvalhal’s cavalry have turned around their season since the sacking of Paul Clement and had this still been the old days then they would have been sunk without trace,

Under Carlo Ancelotti’s one-time assistant at Chelsea, Paris St. Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the Swans shipped eight goals in his last three games before his pre-Christmas sacking.

But his Portuguese successor has straightened out the defence and lifted spirits with eight wins and only two defeats in his first 15 games.

They had their backs to the wall and David Wagner’s team had so much possession – 81 per cent with a 28-0 shot count – they were playing with three, two and even one at the back.

But a lack of cunning and insight saw them continually lump balls up to the heart of the Swans backline where Alfie Mawson, Federico Fernandez and Mike van der Hoorn were as prominent on the skyline as Blackpool Tower on a clear summer’s day.

They hardly missed a single cross and when they did Lukasz Fabianski was ready to come off his line.

Between them, they restricted the Terriers to only two or three real goal-scoring opportunities.

Christopher Schindler rose powerfully but his thumping header flashed narrowly wide and Steve Mounie looped another header onto the roof of the net.

Only the Benin forward, with four goals in his last seven, looked capable of making the breakthrough.

He hammered one powerful strike into the side netting and then spectacularly forced Fabianski to flick a thunderous shot over via the crossbar.
