Everton have, in effect, little to play for with Ronald Koeman's side having already qualified for the Europa League next season through a top-seven berth.
"We played a good game with high intensity".
From an individual standpoint, it has been a successful season for Lukaku, who is now the Premier League's top goalscorer. "We didn't achieve what we wanted from the match but we have two more games".
Fernando Llorente's first half header was enough to secure all three points for Swansea City and the result sees them climb out of the bottom three.
That's no excuse for supporters though and it's now the third game on the bounce they have failed to pick up all three points.
While Everton look too strong for Swansea on paper, Clement's team have shown their capability in flashes and could be a danger to the Merseysiders as they battle to avoid relegation.
Last-placed Sunderland is already down. Middlesbrough visits Chelsea on Monday.
Which Premier League team is most likely to be relegated?
Palace has 38 points, Swansea 35, and Hull 34.
IS kills 2 in attack on Iraqi Kurdish base
The JOC said the forces "raised the Iraqi flag after inflicting losses to the enemy". Eastern Mosul was cleared of ISIL fighters in January.
Swansea's players are covering the cost for 3,000 fans to travel to Sunderland. Burnley and Watford are all but mathematically safe.
29' - GOAL! Swansea 1-0 Everton (Llorente).
Fernando Llorente was the hero for Paul Clement's side, as the Spanish forward headed home the only goal of the game. For one of the best headers of the ball in the league, it was an ugly but decisive finish.
Swansea City has won only one of their previous 11 Premier League fixtures against Everton, but are unbeaten in their last five.
But a 2-0 home victory over Stoke and a 1-1 draw at Manchester United last weekend has encouraged the Swans ahead of closing games against Everton, Sunderland and West Brom.
Silva had not lost a home league game since 2014, a period taking in spells in charge of Estoril, Sporting Lisbon, Olympiakos, and now four months at Hull. "We're two better on goal difference, four goals better (scored)". Raheem Sterling scored the other. That same fanbase is now united behind the team, creating a cauldron of noise for the Everton game that prompted Clement to claim that he had never experienced anything like it before.
Mawson then almost put through his own net in the 90th minute when he deflected Lukaku's effort narrowly over the bar.
Following closely behind, is midfield general Gylfi Sigurdsson, who has found the net on nine occasions domestically, reaching ten in all competitions.
