Coach Anthony Wright: "We've got our first win on the board now, and I was really pleased with the performance and outcome of the Crewe Alexandra game.

"It was good to bounce back from Barnsley, and for the boys to play at the stadium.

"We know Sheffield United are a tough side, they won their division last year. But we'll be looking forward to going up there."

Josh Thomas scored a brace as Swansea City Under-21s returned to winning ways and maintained their 100 per cent record at the Swansea.com Stadium with victory over Sheffield United in the Professional Development League.

Taking on the champions of the northern section of the competition, the hosts took the lead through a Levis Pitan own goal, before Jili Buyabu levelled for the Blades.

But Thomas won and converted a penalty to put the Swans back in front before the break, and then fired in a low strike to seal the three points in the closing stages, before substitute Joe Thomas finished a superb team move to put the icing on the cake.

It also marked the first time the visitors had lost in the league since November 2022.
