Our Premier League Cup campaign got off to a winning start on Wednesday night as we beat Swansea City 2-1 at Meadow Park.
Emile Smith Rowe, Cedric and new signing Fabio Vieira were all involved from the start in a strong-looking lineup named by Mehmet Ali, but it was the visitors who struck the first blow.
Josh Thomas capitalised on an error at the back and took the ball past James Hillson to roll it into the empty net after just 12 minutes.
We responded almost instantly after falling behind, equalising moments later through Joel Ideho after a clever through ball from Lino Sousa found our winger in space, who showed real composure to evade two defenders before finishing low.
