Report | AFC Bournemouth U18s 5 Swansea City U18s 1

Swansea City Under-18s suffered defeat on the road with a 5-1 loss against AFC Bournemouth in the Professional Development League earlier this month.

Leyland Waite scored four goals whilst striker Dane Ndimukum also found the net in the second half.

Josiah Kallichan pulled one back for the Swans to make it 2-1 but it was not enough as the visitors were well-beaten on the south coast.

The hosts made use of their bright start, and were ahead within two minutes.

Nefeye Osazee's cross found Waite unmarked, which allowed the forward to find the bottom corner to gain his side the early advantage.

Straight down the other end, Alfie Jones struck a low effort towards goal but he was denied by Cherries keeper Finlay Taylor.

But just two minutes after his first, Waite got his second goal from the edge of the area to double the Cherries' lead with just four minutes played.

It sparked a brighter spell for the Swans going forward, and they were rewarded with a goal.

Harvey Gray's pass found Kallicharan, who cut inside to dispatch the ball into the back of the net, quickly halving the deficit. 

Just moments later, Jakub Nowak was forced into a crucial, diving save as he pushed away a Ndimukum strike.

However, Swansea's deficit was soon back to two goals as Ndimukum smashed home from inside the six-yard box after the ball escaped Nowak's grasp as he attempted to gather an Osazee cross.

In the second period, Waite would bag his hat-trick with a finely-taken finish from distance, despite Nowak almost getting his fingertips to it.

Waite continued to threaten and went on to add a fifth for the Cherries and his fourth of the afternoon, cutting inside from an Osazee cross to send a strike straight down the middle of the net. 

Swansea City Under-18s: Jakub Nowak, Dempsey Singer, Elis Thomas, Sol Baker, Jack May, Rio Hassan, Harvey Gray, Alfie Jones (captain), Josiah Kallicharan, Bobby Lewis, Bobo Evans.
