Report | Swansea City U21s 1 Watford U21s 3

Swansea City Under-21s suffered defeat against Watford in their Professional Development League encounter at the Joma High Performance Centre.

All goals came in the second half, with Amin Nabizada opening to scoring before Glory Nzingo headed home to bring the Swans level.

Swansea had the chance to take the lead not long after through a penalty, but Roraigh Browne dived the same way as Kyrell Wilson's spot-kick.

And the visitors went on the grab two quick-fire goals through Laken Torres and Messiah-Edwards to head back to London with three points.

Anthony Wright fielded a young team, handing 15-year-old Harvey Gray and 16-year-old Kai Rhodes their debut starts alongside Milo Robinson and Osian Williams.

Meanwhile, Bobo Evans, Elis Thomas and Wahab Ojetoro also made their first appearances off the bench for the upper-age-group.

It was a quiet opening 10 minutes, with the hosts having the better of the chances after Joshua Keyes sent two high balls over the bar.

The Swans had a free-kick in a dangerous position after a fine run Nzingo ended with the Irishman being fouled. Henia-Kamau stepped up to take, but his strike was straight at the Watford wall.

Nzingo had yet another chance on goal, only for his effort to deflect behind for a corner. Another chance came from the delivery, but it was headed wide by Richard Faakye.

The Hornets' Amin Nabizada looked lively, and almost broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark. The 17-year-old collided with Ben Hughes off his line, and lofted the ball over the Swans stopper but Arthur Parker cleared the ball away at the last second.

It didn't take long for the Swans to level, and it was Nzingo who was left unmarked and guided his header over Browne from a high cross.

The Swans were then handed the chance to take the lead when the referee rewarded a penalty for a foul on Rhodes in the box, however, Kyrell Wilson sent the ball the same way as the keeper to keep to score level.

But two quick-fire goals from the visitors extended their advantage to two goals. Substitute Torres fired home amongst a crowded six-yard box, before Massiah-Edwards found the net almost immediately from the restart after a quick counter.

Henia-Kamau was agonisingly close to pulling a goal back after connecting with Kyrell Wilson's delivery, but his strike was well held by Browne.

Rhodes continued to cause trouble down the left flank, his high cross over the box found Jeanes only for his effort roll off the top of the net.

Swansea City Under-21s: Ben Hughes, Zac Jeanes, Osian Williams, Mitchell Bates (captain), Richard Faakye, Arthur Parker, Milo Robinson, Glory Nzingo, Sammy Henia-Kamau, Harvey Gray, Kai Rhodes.

Substitutes: Bobo Evans, Evan Watts, Wahab Ojetoro, Kyrell Wilson, Elis Thomas.
