Kyle Naughton, Olivier Ntcham, Stevens and Liam Cullen all entered the fray as Swansea saw out the contest comfortably, such was their control of the game against a side who always looked happy to leave south Wales with a point. Oko-Flex was desperately unfortunate to be withdrawn late on, although the substitution was clearly for the benefit of the team who had earned themselves a lead to hold on to thanks, in part, to the efforts of the 20-year-old. Ryan Manning's return will see a huge improvement in that regard while Fin Stevens could yet get a run-out at some point. The West Ham loanee was direct and offered a real threat with his pace in an area where Swansea were blunt in the opening half with Matty Sorinola and Joel Latibeaudiere occupying the wing-back berths. And the coaches more than played their part in the impressive turnaround.Īndy Parslow can once again be pleased with a set-piece goal as Darling headed home Matt Grimes' corner late on in the first half while Russell Martin's decision to send on Armstrong Oko-Flex for the second half reaped big rewards. But defensive sloppiness proved costly once again as Meite and Ince both beat Steven Benda to put Reading in command.ĭespite those setbacks, it always felt as though Swansea could salvage something from the contest, such were their efforts.
