A sintilating European perfromance saw Swansea City beat the Spanish giants of Valencia by three goals to nil, on their patch as well. Yes Valencia are not the giants of former years, but they still have a load of internationally recognised footballers in their ranks and lets not forget that they are former winners of the major European trophys. In short, beating Valencia is a huge scalp, and something we should all take a couple of seconds to digets…..we just beat Valencia by three goals to nil, on their pitch. We, yes Swansea City, beat Valencia…..legendary stuff.
Who performed well? Almost everybody.
Were the goals good? They were excellent, three beautifully taken goals. Jonathan de Guzman has found his proverbial shooting boots once again, and his form since coming on (and excelling) against Liverpool should see him force his way back into the starting line up. We now have a lot of very good central midfielders, so Michael Laudrup has some very interesting selection dilemas to come.
Michu was class, as always. I love the way he seems to stroke the ball into the net, a born goal scorer.
Wilfried Bony, meanwhile, continues to show he’s the man to lead the line on his own. Strong, direct and powerful, plus he contineus to score, and a very nice goal from him too last night.
