Pre-match views

Coach Jarred Harvey: "I was so pleased with the boys in the Coventry game. It was a real team performance.

"We've had some boys go away for the international break, which is excellent for them, and we've been working hard in between.

"We look forward to welcoming Wigan, and are excited to get back into league football."

Swansea City 7 Wigan Athletic 3

Four goals from Iwan Morgan, a brace from Kyrell Wilson and a Charlie Veevers strike ensured Swansea City Under-18s  finished their season on a high with yet another high-scoring victory the last time they hosted Wigan Athletic.

The Swans had the ball in the net in the first five minutes thanks to a superb free-kick from Veevers, but a first-half hat-trick from Harrison Bettoni put the Latics on top.

But Morgan would reply in kind with a hat-trick of his own - his second in as many games - to put the Swans 4-3 to the good.

And a further goal from the striker - taking his tally for the season to 28 - and Wilson sealed the win at Landore.

Swansea City Under-18s: Kit Margetson, Arthur Parker (Jack Fanning 51'), Richard Faakye, Jacob Cook, Jada Mawongo, Dan Watts, Sam Parker, Charlie Veevers (Jack Cooper 45'), Geoff Bony (Rohan Davies 74'), Iwan Morgan, Aimar Govea (Kyrell Wilson 52'). 

Unused subs: Ewan Griffiths.
