Report | Swansea City U18s 4 Queens Park Rangers U18s 1

Braces for Rohan Davies and Tom Woodward helped Swansea City Under-18s make it three consecutive wins in all competitions as they saw off Queens Park Rangers Under-18s at Landore.

Davies opened the scoring early with a smart finish at the back post and, while the visitors did play their way into the game, the Swans were disciplined out of possession and the visitors failed to test keeper Ewan Griffiths.

Goals either side of half-time for Woodward put the game out of sight, before Davies dispatched a penalty kick with five minutes to go to make it 4-0.

Jake Coomes scored a consolation for the R's in injury time.

The Swans - who came into the game off the back of impressive away wins at Watford and Bournemouth - got off to a fast start by converting their first big chance of the afternoon in the seventh minute.

Aimar Govea got the better of his man before looping a cross into the box, and Yori Griffith leapt highest to flick it on with Davies arriving at the back post. The Swans front man still had plenty to do, but his first touch set him up perfectly and he hammered the ball in at the near post.

Griffith had a couple of half-chances to extend the lead. He poked another Govea cross narrowly wide before being brought down at the edge of the box after the Swans sprung a fast attack from a turnover in the centre of the park.

It was proving a controlled performance from the home side and, when QPR mounted their best spell of the game midway through the first half, a solid defending meant that Alfie Tuck and Harry Redknapp's off-target efforts from distance were the closest the R's came to an equaliser.

At the other end, the Swans were clinical and Woodward bagged his sixth goal of the season when he curled into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to extend the lead and finish off a sweeping counter-attack.

Woodward was quickly back among the goals in the second half.

Having already forced the keeper into a save after a nice individual piece of skill and a low right-footed effort, he completed his brace when he leapt highest to calmly nod Cameron Llewellyn’s cross back across goal to nestle the ball just inside the far post.

Woodward then forced two really good saves from Conor Clark as he went in search of his hat-trick.

In the closing stages, Noah Hay committed a foul in his own box leaving the referee to point to the spot, and Davies stepped up and coolly dispatched the ball down the middle with five minutes remaining.

Eight minutes of injury time allowed Coomes to get one back for the R's, before Woodward had a very late effort cleared off the line as the Swans eased to victory.
