Andre Ayew scored twice as Swansea comfortably beat a much-changed Liverpool side 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp made eight changes from the midweek Europa League semi-final first leg and despite fielding the youngest ever Liverpool team in the Premier League, they lacked energy against a Swans side looking to mathematically secure their top-flight status.
Ayew opened the scoring just after the 20-minute mark, before Jack Cork doubled the advantage with a fantastic curling effort fired into the bottom corner.
Half-time substitute Christian Benteke pulled one back for the Reds, but Ayew restored the lead two minutes later and the visitors ended the game with 10 men after Brad Smith was sent off.
Liverpool stay in seventh on 55 points – four behind Manchester United and West Ham – while Swansea have sealed Premier League football for another season and move up to 13th with 43 points.
