Swansea City Under-18s suffered late heartbreak in their south Wales derby after Leeyon Phelan netted a 95th-minute winner for Cardiff City when they last met in league action in SA1.

The Swans had led through a Yori Griffith goal inside 20 minutes, before Thomas Woodward doubled the home side’s lead ahead of the break.

However, a red card for Brogan Popham meant the young Swans played out the final half-hour with 10 men and the momentum of the game shifted.

Joseff Edwards pulled the first goal back for the visitors, before a brace from Phelan secured all three points for Cardiff.

Swansea City Under-18s: Sam Seager, Billy Clarke, Callum Deacon (captain), Jacob Cook (Aidan Higgins 87), Brogan Popham, Kiel Higginson, Ramon Rees-Siso, Yori Griffith (Ben Phillips 45), Morgan Bates, Thomas Woodward (Caio Ifans 77), Josh Pescatore.

Substitutes: Isaac Dudding, Osian Williams.
