Swansea City secured their most convincing win this season by beating Cardiff City 3-0 this afternoon.

Goals from Jamie Paterson, Joel Piroe and Jake Bidwell ensured that the Swans kept the points, in what was a brilliant performance by the home side. 

Paterson opened the scoring with a tremendous effort from outside the box, crossing the line via two deflections off the post. 

 

 

The 29-year-old then split the Cardiff defence with an inch-perfect through ball to Piroe, who turned and finished with class. 

The influential midfielder grabbed his second assist of the day later in the second half when he received the ball inside the area, before delightfully chipping the ball to the back post where Bidwell nodded home. 

Paterson is proving to be an excellent summer signing, joining the club on a free transfer after he left Bristol City when his contract expired in late June.

He now sits with four goals and three assists from his opening 12 games for his new employers, and he is consistently performing at a high level every time he wears Swansea's colours.
