Jamie Sherwood | We produced a 90-minute performance

First-team manager Jamie Sherwood felt Swansea City Women had produced a 90-minute performance in their 4-0 win over Cardiff Met Women.

A quick-fire double from Aimee Deacon set the Swans on their way, the forward heading home at the back post before tucking home a low cross just two minutes later.

Robyn Pinder made it three after the break, bursting into the box before firing into the top right corner.

Deacon would then seal her hat-trick by volleying home from close range to make it six goals in her last two games.

Sherwood praised his side’s performance and felt that the depth in his squad was key to their success.

"I'm really pleased with the consistency throughout the performance," he said.

"The squad really showed their personality and identity, which is what we've been asking for, and they've done that consistently over the 90 minutes.

"They worked hard without the ball and they worked really, really well with the ball.

"We've spoken all the way through pre-season that it is a squad game, it's not about the 11 that start, it's the 16 that are in and the 20 plus, because we can't keep our intensity without them.

"We want to keep the intensity as high as possible throughout the game, we trust every player that steps on the pitch and they trust us.

"At the beginning of pre-season, the first port of call was to improve the depth of the squad, it makes it really difficult to pick the starting 11 and make the changes we want to make, but the depth is there.

"The TNS game was a tough proposition but this was a really good way to respond.”

Deacon's hat-trick was her second in two games, having netted a treble against Talycopa AFC Women in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup.

Sherwood was delighted to see Deacon growing in confidence in front of goal and highlighted the teenager as a real prospect for the Swans.

"Aimee [Deacon] is a 17-year-old who has bags of talent and her ceiling is really really high,” added the Swans boss.

"Our job is to make sure she maximises reaching that potential, we told everyone when we signed her that she would score goals and over the last couple of weeks she's been playing with the confidence of a goalscorer.

"She isn't looking to find the goal now, she knows where it is and what she wants to do and she has the confidence to pull the trigger which is really pleasing, and long may it continue, I'm really proud of her."
