Swansea City 0 Leeds United 4: Seventh heaven as rampant Whites overcome key player loss

Leeds United took their strong push for automatic promotion up another level with an impressive 4-0 romp at Tuesday night's Championship hosts Swansea City as Willy Gnonto helped himself to a double.

Whites boss Daniel Farke had named an unchanged side for the contest but was forced into making a late alteration as striker Patrick Bamford pulled out during the warm-up. Joel Piroe instead came into the XI against his former side to partner Georginio Rutter in the front line.

With just ten minutes on the clock, Piroe was firing Leeds into a 2-0 lead as part of a lightning fast start from the Whites who went ahead inside just eight minutes through Crysencio Summerville.

As Leeds dominated from the outset, Summerville cut inside from an Ilia Gruev pass and unleashed a low drive which took a deflection en route to beating keeper Carl Rushworth inside the left hand post.

Two minutes later, Leeds poured forward again and Gnonto slid in Piroe who cracked home a clinical finish with the contest only ten minutes into its duration.

Leeds then squandered a golden chance to bag a third goal in the 16th minute via a rapid break from a Swansea corner but Gnonto was unable to beat keeper Carl Rushworth from point blank range as Rushworth saved with an outstretched arm.
