Thread | Swansea U21 3 v 3 Brentford U21 ...
at 10:22 19 Nov 2024
"Three second-half goals from Swansea City Under-21s salvaged a point against their Brentford counterparts in their Professional Development League clash on Monday Evening.
Former Swan Iwan Morgan made no mistake to open the scoring within the first two minutes of the game with a top-corner strike, then the Bees doubled their advantage just before the break thanks to Kyreece Lisbie.
The Swans came out fighting in the second period with two quick-fire goals from Morgan Bates - his first at under-21 level - and Sammy Henia-Kamau.
Brentford regained the lead through substitute Caelan Avenall beyond the hour mark, but Swansea fought back and clinched a third goal with a wonderful strike from Ben Lloyd.
Aimar Govea and Glory Nzingo missed out due to representing Ecuador and the Republic of Ireland respectively this international break.
Meanwhile, Morgan Bates made his first start for the upper age-group alongside his brother, Mitchell Bates.
The visitors had an early chance within the first few minutes. The move, started by Morgan, found Ashley Hay from close-range but volleyed his shot well over.
But the breakthrough came less than 30 seconds later when Morgan lofted the ball from outside of the box over Ben Hughes in the Swansea goal.
Brentford had the better of the game afterwards, Richard Faakye and Iestyn Jones both making crucial clearances to prevent a second goal.
Morgan almost had his second of the evening after chipping a volley wide after a scramble of headers in the box fell to the Welshman’s feet.
Swansea started to press forward, and a nice team play from Faakye, Zac Jeanes and Morgan Bates looked to create a clear-cut chance, but the referee raised the offside flag.
The Bees continued to threaten through Morgan, forcing Jeanes to block his powerful shot well from six yards before Hughes made an impressive one-handed save to deny Morgan yet again.
Henia-Kamau went close to getting an equaliser, weaving his way through the visiting defence only for the Bees' keeper Reggie Rose to come out and collect.
Straight down the other end before the break, the visitors doubled their lead through Lisbie after a fast-paced team move was finished off into the bottom corner.
The opening stages were even with both sides exchanging chances. But the Swans showed spirit to react with two quick-fire goals to level.
And it was Morgan Bates with his first goal for the under-21s on his first start, the 18-year-old, pick out by Jeanes, made two smooth touches before smashing the ball into the back of the net.
Henia-Kamau grabbed the Swans' second moments later with a tap-in from inside the six-yard box.
But the scoreline was not level for long as substitute Avenall made an immediate impact from the bench to net Brentford’s third from close range.
Kyrell Wilson also looked to grab a goal from off the bench when Morgan Bates’ cross fell into the path of Wilson, but it was sent over the bar.
Wilson caused trouble for the visitors again after a mazy run down the middle, but his final touch was deflected out for a corner, which came to nothing.
In the closing stages, Faakye won a free-kick in a dangerous position. Substitute Josh Pescatore - who's scored two from two set pieces this campaign - took it short to Lloyd and the Welshman smashes it home to level the proceedings once again and salvage a point for his side."
Swansea City Under-21s: Ben Hughes, Arthur Parker, Sebastian Dabrowski, Jacob Cook (Josh Pescatore 75), Richard Faakye, Iestyn Jones, Zac Jeanes (Kyrell Wilson 65), Mitchell Bates (captain), Sammy Henia-Kamau, Morgan Bates, Ben Lloyd.
Substitutes: Evan Watts, Callum Deacon, Brogan Popham.
