Nathan Dyer scored twice as Swansea City cruised to a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League this afternoon.
Swansea were ahead just two minutes into the tie when Gylfi Sigurdsson set up Dyer to round Ben Foster before guiding the ball into the back of the net.
Wilfried Bony had a couple of chances to double the advantage, firing just high shortly after the opener, before blasting the ball later in the half.
However, the hosts did manage to extend the lead midway through the period, with Wayne Routledge controlling a high ball into the box before hitting it on the volley.
Swansea could have had a third when Jonas Olsson mis-timed a header, nodding the ball into his own crossbar.
Bony was involved again at the start of the second half as the striker picked up the ball from Dyer just a couple of minutes after the restart, but he could not tap in.
The Welsh side wanted a penalty when Andre Wisdom cleared a Bony effort of the line, with the hosts claiming that the on-loan midfielder used his hand, but the referee waved away their appeal.
It did not matter though, as Swansea did score a third a few minutes later, with Dyer firing a powerful low effort past Foster to complete his brace.
West Brom finished the match strongly as they sought a late consolation goal, but Saido Berahino just missed the target, while Lukasz Fabianski pulled off a late save.
The result leaves Swansea at the top of the Premier League table, while West Brom sit 17th.
