Katy Hosford vs Aberystwyth

Swansea City Women extended their winning run to four games with a dominant victory at Aberystwyth Town Women.

Skipper Katy Hosford fired the Swans ahead early in the first half, before turning provider just before the break as Jess Williams headed home her corner delivery.

Hosford had her second of the game and fifth of the season after the break, her close-range header making it 3-0.

The Swans would cap their superb performance with a fourth goal, Monet Legall tapping home from Hosford’s shot.

The Swans had started the game brightly, Hosford finding Stacey John-Davis in the box just two minutes in, but the striker’s effort was blocked.

However, it wouldn’t be long before the Swans were ahead, a great ball from Nieve Jenkins sent Hosford on her way to slide home and put her side in front.

The Swansea pressure continued, Robyn Pinder latching onto a loose ball on the edge of the box before firing just wide.

Chloe Chivers then forced a fantastic low save from Margot Farnes in the Aberystwyth goal, her effort from distance being tipped around the post.

John-Davis came close to doubling Swansea’s lead, turning the Aberystwyth left-back inside out before shooting just over the bar.

Sammy Wynne also went close, cutting onto her right foot only to see her strike well saved.

But the Swans would finally have their second just before the break, Williams powering home Hosford’s corner from inside the six-yard box.

The visitors’ dominance continued into the second half, as they controlled play and created chances at will.

Hosford would get her second of the game to make it 3-0, rising to steer in a header after a great delivery from Chivers for her fifth goal of the season.

But the Swans weren’t done there as Legall capitalised on a loose ball in the box and beat the goalkeeper to make it four.

The win made it four wins from four for the Swans heading into an important fixture with league leaders Cardiff City Women.
