Swansea City dominated from start to finish against Sheffield Wednesday, scoring four goals via Goncalo Franco, Žan Vipotnik (two) and Malick Yalcouye.
The opener was a well-worked team goal, with Josh Tymon crossing for the Portuguese to tap home, while the second was a brilliantly-taken free-kick by Swansea’s in-form striker.
Vipotnik completed his brace before Yalcouye capped off an excellent afternoon for Vitor Matos’ side.
This is how we rated the Swans players at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Lawrence Vigouroux – 6
Quiet afternoon for the shot-stopper. Started the move for Franco’s goal. His array of passing is top notch.
Ethan Galbraith – 7
Popped up all over the field. Such a clever footballer. Wasted at right-back? Perhaps an argument for another day.
Ben Cabango – 7
Dealt with two former Swans strikers in Jerry Yates and Jamal Lowe with ease. Nearly put Vipotnik through on goal. Booked.

Cameron Burgess – 7
Solid if not spectacular. Headed everything clear that came his way.
Josh Tymon – 8
Fired off a tester early on and got forward without waiting for an invitation. Great cross for Franco, bang on the money. One of the best full-backs in the league.
Marko Stamenic – 7
Like Tymon, also tried his luck early on. The lynchpin in midfield. Booked for an old-school reducer. Subbed.
Goncalo Franco – 7
Good finish for his goal, ending a lovely move. Fourth of the season for the Portuguese. Subbed.
Liam Cullen – 6
Played in the 10 behind, unlucky not to score on stroke of half-time with a lob that hit the bar. Subbed.
Ronald – 6
Lively start and popped up on both wings, decent chance from an angle late on. Subbed.
Gustavo Nunes – 6
Making his first start for the club, the loan man looked bright, swapping flanks with Ronald. Grew in confidence. Subbed.
Žan Vipotnik – 8 – STAR MAN
Shot on the turn on 20 minutes signalled his intent. Went similarly close with a header in second half. Smashed his free-kick home brilliantly and he completed his brace with a cool finish. In devastating form right now.
