Report | Swansea City U21s 2 Millwall U21s 1

Swansea City Under-21s made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League Cup with a 2-1 victory over Millwall on Friday evening.

Caleb Demery was handed his first start for five months after an injury sustained in the summer, and he capped it off by opening the scoring in the first-half.

Morgan Bates won and converted a penalty to double the Swans' lead, but the two-goal lead lasted minutes when Jack Howland sliced home a consolation goal for the Lions.

The Swans had the first chance with just one minute on the clock. Yori Griffith seeing his curling effort bounce wide from Sam Parker's lay-off. 

Down the other end, Millwall's Sheldon Kendall rattled the woodwork with a low strike.

The hosts almost took the lead in the 13th minute when Thomas Woodward headed on target from a Pescatore free-kick, but Caspar Jackson was equal from close range. 

But Swansea took the lead four minutes later through Demery, making no mistake to finish off from a Griffith pass -  his second in as many games. 

The Lions looked to level immediately after the restart, only for Kendall's powerful strike to go high and wide.

Swansea were rewarded a penalty on the half-hour mark, and it was cooly slotted away by Morgan Bates for his eighth goal of the season.

The scoreline was halved just minutes later when Millwall's Howland was found in space in the box, and drilled the ball in to the bottom corner to bring the Lions back in to contention.

Before the break, Griffith's - who had been causing trouble for the visitor's backline - mazy run ended with hit shot steer just wide. Moments later, the 18-year-old threatened the Millwall goal once again, forcing Jackson into a diving save with his strike.

With seconds to play before the half-time whistle, Iestyn Jones produced two crucial clearances off the line to keep the Swans ahead at the interval. 

Griffith continued his fine form in the second period, fending off three Millwall defenders before sending his effort wide from outside the box.

The game became an even affair approaching the hour mark, with Millwall looking more lively and attacking in numbers. 

A strong driving run from Woodward sent him on his way goalward, only for his final touch to land in the hands of the Millwall stopper.
