Fabio Tavares’ brace proved the difference as Swansea City Under-23s were beaten by Coventry City at Landore in the Professional Development League.
The Swans had looked set to pick up a point from this encounter, which was watched by first-team head coach Russell Martin, after sub Tarrelle Whittaker levelled with nine minutes left.
But Taveres, who had opened the scoring in the 16th minute, restored the lead for the visitors just four minutes after the Swans had equalised, while Richard Dinangia added further gloss to the victory with the last kick of the game.
Victory helped Coventry maintain top spot in the North section, while the Swans remained eighth in the South division.
