Anthony Wright | It was a terrific way to cap off the season

Coach Anthony Wright was pleased to round off the season on a positive note after Swansea City Under-21s claimed an emphatic 5-0 victory over Professional Development League North champions Sheffield United.

The victory meant the age-grade side extended their unbeaten record at the Swansea.com Stadium, which has been in place since the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign.

In-form striker and Swansea boy Morgan Bates headed home the opener in the first half, before Ben Lloyd's curling strike found the net before the break to put the hosts two goals to the good against the Professional Development League North champions.

Sheffield United went down to 10 men after the break as Lennon Patterson was dismissed for a foul on Sam Parker.

Thomas Woodward netted his 18th goal of the season, before captain Lloyd completed his brace and Ramon Rees-Siso registered his first stadium goal in the closing stages as the hosts ran out handsome winners.

"We are pleased with our overall performance, it's a brilliant way to sign off our season," said Wright.

"We've scored 10 goals in two games now, and every single goal has been of quality, and the boys have shown that many times this season.

"We looked like a proper under-21s' team, albeit we still had eight scholars involved in the squad. As I've said all season, there's been times where we've gone very young and sometimes, it can be a big ask of a young squad.

"But, in the game today, you see the benefit of those players being exposed to those situations with experienced under-21s' players around them.

"We love playing at the stadium, and we'd love to play here a lot more often. The players love playing there in front of a crowd, it's a brilliant way to express what we are as an academy.

"To have a record of three years unbeaten here is incredible. The teams we do end up playing here are top, so for us it's something we're very proud of."
