March 6, 1982

Swansea City 3 Stoke City 0

A convincing victory in Division One came courtesy of a Robbie James brace and one goal from Jeremy Charles as the Swans continued their fine start to the club's first top-flight campaign.

James' brace helped him finish as the club's top scorer that season as he notched 14 goals in 42 top-flight matches.

The Swans would finish sixth, while Stoke just avoided relegation, in a season which introduced three points per victory for the first time in English football.
