Swansea City get their pre-season campaign underway with a thumping 5-0 victory over Welsh outfit Port Talbot.

Swansea City began their pre-season campaign with a thumping 5-0 victory over Welsh outfit Port Talbot.

The Premier League side named a strong starting side, and they opened up a two-goal lead after just six minutes when Stephen Dobbie struck from the spot and Leroy Lita produced a cool finish inside the area.

The home side had their chances, notably via Cortez Belle, but his header was pushed away by David Cornell in a lively opening period.

Swansea made it three with their second penalty of the afternoon when Dobbie struck his second, while Dobbie grabbed his hat-trick with a cool finish after 25 minutes.

The second period remained much the same as the first, with the Welsh club looking to add to their already impressive scoreline.

Just the singular goal came in the second half, and it was scored after 69 minutes by youngster Henry Jones as the Swans secured a comfortable win.
