The 2011–12 season was Swansea City's third season in the first tier of English football, and their first return to top-flight football since 1983.[3][4] During the 2010–11 season, Swansea finished in 3rd place and beat Reading 4–2 in the Championship play-off final, to win promotion to the Premier League. In doing so, they became the first Welsh team to enter the Premier League.[5] Swansea finished the season at 11th place after beating Liverpool 1–0 in the last game of the season on 13 May 2012.[6] Safety was already confirmed two weeks prior when the Swans drew 4–4 with Wolverhampton Wanderers on 28 April 2012,[7] a game Swansea had led 4–1, although Andrea Orlandi posted the fastest goal of the season in that match after 24 seconds.[8]
