Swansea City beat York City to reach round three

Goals from Nathan Dyer, Matt Grimes and Marvin Emnes help Swansea City beat York City in the League Cup.

2013 League Cup winners Swansea City have progressed to round three of this year's competition thanks to a 3-0 win over York City.

The South Wales side took the lead after two minutes as striker Eder's shot was saved, and winger Nathan Dyer converted the rebound from close range.

Dyer almost returned the favour as he set up Eder six yards out, but his goalbound shot was blocked, before Wayne Routledge almost found the top corner with a bending shot.

York survived the onslaught and almost found an equaliser midway through the half as Vadaine Oliver's header was parried away by the keeper, before James Berrett hit the crossbar.

Up the other end, Swansea went close again as Eder teed up Matt Grimes, whose shot went wide from 12 yards.

York attacked Swansea from the off after the break and again went close to equalising as Oliver bent an effort over the bar from the edge of the box.

However, Swansea edged nearer to the third round as Grimes's deflected shot from 25 yards found the corner of the net just after the hour mark.

York continued to push forward, but they were undone again towards the end as substitute Marvin Emnes latched on the end of a Jonjo Shelvey pass and slotted in.
