Swansea in dreamland after flying past Valencia
SWANSEA secured the victory of their dreams last night as they thrashed 10-man Valencia 3-0 in the Mestalla.
Just 14 years ago, Swansea were toiling in Division Three while Valencia were battling Real Madrid in the Champions League final – but goals from Wilfried Bony, Michu and a delightful free-kick from Jonathan De Guzman, after Adil Rami’s 10th-minute dismissal, was brutal evidence of how times have changed.
Boss Michael Laudrup said: “Now they know they can play against the biggest clubs in the biggest stadiums without any problem.”
Wigan drew 0-0 in Belgium against Zulte-Waregem, while Tottenham beat Tromso 3-0.
