Report | Coventry City U21s 0 Swansea City U21s 1

Swansea City Under-21s made it three wins in a row in the Professional Development League as they claimed victory at Coventry City.

Thomas Woodward got the only goal of the game for the visitors with a cool finish, while a resolute defensive display secured a second-straight clean sheet.

The Swans now sit top of the PDL having previously won their two opening games against Crewe Alexandra and Huddersfield Town at the Swansea.com Stadium.

First-year scholar Tom Wright started between the sticks while defender Filip Lissah made his first start since recovering from injury.

The hosts had the better of the first half with a few chances falling the way of forward Josh Toluwaloju. 

At the other end, Swansea also had a clear chance in the opening period when Morgan Bates' header forced a good save from Sky Blues stopper Eliot Meredith.

It was goalless at the interval, but within 10 minutes of the restart the visitors had the lead through Woodward.

The midfielder capitalised on a mistake at the back and calmly took full advantage to find the net.

A strong defensive performance from the Swans saw them see out the remainder of the game without major alarm, meaning Woodward's goal was enough to claim a third straight win.

Swansea City Under-21s: Thomas Wright, Iestyn Jones, Callum Deacon, Mitchell Bates (captain), Filip Lissah, Arthur Parker, Kai Rhodes, Harlan Perry, Morgan Bates, Thomas Woodward, Ramon Rees-Siso.
