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.

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

Josiah Kallichan pulled one back at 2-0 with a smooth strike from the right, but it wasn't enough to build on to find the equaliser.

Bobby Lewis had his second start in as many days - as did first-year scholar Bobo Evans, as the 16-year-old was handed his first Under-21s' start on Monday against Barnsley. 

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

Nefeye Osazee's cross to unmarked Waite allowed the forward to find the bottom corner to gain the early advantage.

Straight down the other end, Alfie Jones struck a low effort towards goal but he was denied by 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 were rewarded with a goal.

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

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

The deficit was soon back to two goals as Ndimukum smashed home inside the six-yard box after the ball fumbled out of Nowak's hands as he gathered a Osazee cross.

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

Waite continued to threaten adding a fifth for the Cherries and his fourth of the afternoon, cutting inside from a Osazee cross strike the ball straight down the middle of the net. 

A big chance came Swansea's way when Jones' cross was deflected out for a Swans corner by Ifan Harding.

But a four-goal swing was too much for the visitors to make up as Bournemouth claimed all three points.
