Report | Swansea City U21s 0 Queens Park Rangers U21s 5

Swansea City Under-21s were beaten on home soil as Queens Park Rangers took the spoils in their Professional Development League  encounter at the Joma High Performance Centre.

Former Swansea scholar Kieran Petrie netted a hat-trick for the visitors, whilst his R's teammate Emmerson Sutton also grabbed two goals within the space of seven minutes.

The Swans were left to rue wasting a number of first-half chances, with Sam Parker and Sammy Henia-Kamau among those to be denied by QPR keeper Joel Halliday.

Nathan Tjoe-A-On and Parker came into the team from the senior set-up to get valuable game time, while first-year scholar Harlan Perry was also among the starters.

And the hosts started brightly, with Parker's lovely ball finding Henia-Kamau's run, only for Jack Leahy to cover and clear for the away side.

Parker was soon showing his pace again, gliding away from his man after being found by Josh Pescatore and setting up Henia-Kamau, who saw his shot blocked by Halliday.

Parker's close-range effort from a Dan Watts' lay-off was also saved, while Henia-Kamau saw one effort blocked and a header cleared off the line as the Swans carved out chance after chance.

Petrie headed a chance straight into the gloves of Kit Margetson at the other end, but it was a brief respite for QPR.

Parker and Ramon Rees-Siso fired over before Halliday was at the ready again to parry away a powerful drive from Henia-Kamau.

Having spurned those openings, the Swans were punished just before the break as Petrie's long-range effort found the net via the inside of the far post.

QPR doubled their lead early in the second period, Petrie on hand to convert after a corner had found him at close range.

Sutton then put the game to bed with a pair of fantastic strikes from distance, both of which found the top corner of the net in the space of a matter of minutes.

And Petrie would round off the scoring in stoppage time as he lofted the ball over Margetson after being found in space.
