Swansea City and Wolverhampton Wanderers score six goals during the opening 45 minutes at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea City scored four goals within the opening 31 minutes at the Liberty Stadium against Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon.

The hosting Swans broke the deadlock within the opening minute when Andrea Orlandi, making only his second appearance of the season, turned in a cross from Scott Sinclair.

Their lead was doubled just three minutes later courtesy of Joe Allen, whose shot from distance was deflected into the net by Wolves defender Richard Stearman.

Brendan Rodgers's side continued to dominate and added a third in the 15th minute. Orlandi beat his marker before sending in a cross for Nathan Dyer, who stooped to head past Dorius De Vries.

Wolves cut the lead to 3-1 after 28 minutes when Steven Fletcher scored from 10 yards out following a cross from Kevin Doyle.

However, three minutes later Swansea striker Danny Graham scored his first goal in 11 outings to open up the three-goal margin again.

The away side had the final say of the half, with winger Matt Jarvis shooting across Michel Vorm and into the net from inside the area.
