Can someone explain why?

Swansea are above Sunderland Middlesbrough and Rotherham in the table please .

Glad you asked.

An away goal in a 1 - 1 draw will take you above the home teams.

Sunderland, Rotherham and Middlesbrough all played at home and drew 1-1.

Swansea drew away so get the advantage.

Bloody hell never knew that

Swansea drew away so get the advantage.

Same for West Brom. And Charlton in League One.

Bloody hell never knew that

My son noticed it last season when we drew 1-1 at home with Barnsley but they were above us in the table. It'll be come irrelevant after a few games and lots of different results but it's significantly noticeable on opening weekend.
