Jon Beale | Every player should be proud of themselves

Swansea City Under-18s' head coach Jon Beale said his players should feel proud of their efforts after another dramatic win in the FA Youth Cup against Category One Leeds United.

Late drama ensured the young Swans progressed to the fifth round thanks to a thrilling 2-1 extra-time victory over the Whites at the LNER Community Stadium.

A last-minute goal from Billy Clarke sealed the Swans’ passage to the next round following a superb performance against a Premier League club.

Prior to the additional period the Swans had taken a deserved first-half lead through Callum Jones, with Carrick Nkinko and Callum Mills threatening shortly before the interval for the hosts.

Nkinko scored an equaliser just after the hour mark, but as the second half wore on it was Swansea who looked the more likely to find a winner.

They could not manage it before the original 90 minutes was up. However, Clarke slotted home in the final moments of extra time to seal a famous victory for the age-grade side and send them through to the fifth round for the first time in almost 10 years.

It backed up their third-round win at Hull, which was sealed by a 97th minute winner at the MKM Stadium.

"Pride is the overriding feeling. The boys conducted themselves well over the 120 minutes played," said Beale.

"Leeds are a very good footballing side, and gave us a good game. We had to work extremely hard throughout every minute of the game.

"The boys stuck together, worked extremely hard and they did everything to stay in the game and that all led to the moment at the end, with the winner.

"I'm just so proud of how they stuck to the tasks, the detail we gave them all week and it all paid off, they executed it brilliantly, scoring two great goals in the process.

"It's been a long while since we've progressed this far in the competition, which in itself should be a another proud moment for the club and we just want to go even further.

"We have a home tie up next, against either Blackburn Rovers or Coventry. We'd love fans to come and show their support for this group of lads, it'll be a great experience and feeling for them."
