Swansea City picked up their first win of the new Championship season by edging their way to an impressive 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Ronald’s goal midway through the second half proved enough to hand victory to Alan Sheehan’s men.
Here’s how the players rated on the day.
Lawrence Vigouroux 7
Didn’t end up really making a save, but was pretty tidy when called upon.
Josh Key 8 – STAR MAN
So much energy on the right hand side. Did well defensively too, making some key clearances. Often in and around some of Swansea’s brightest moments.
Ben Cabango (c) 8
Strong in the tackle. Made some really good interceptions too.
Cameron Burgess 8
As above, really.
Josh Tymon 8
Bombed up and down the left all day. Another superb showing.
Goncalo Franco 7
Battled fairly well in the middle of the park, but wasn’t quite his most influential game.
Malick Yalcouye 7
Some really promising moments, including an early blocked shot. But was also caught in possession a couple of times. A solid debut, but hopefully more to come.
Ronald 8
Should probably have scored in the first half, but put some good crosses in, and took his goal well. A really good outing on the whole.
Ethan Galbraith 7
Looked after possession reasonably well and linked up nicely with his colleagues in the final third. Good out of possession too.
Jisung Eom 7
Really good in the build-up, but couldn’t quite find a decisive outcome in the final third at times.
Liam Cullen 7
Isolated for much of the first half, but was involved in the goal and grew into the game really well. Typically tireless. Subbed.
Subs:
Melker Widell (on for Yalcouye 62) – Should have scored a second for his side late on, but did okay – 6
Zeidane Inoussa (on for Eom 62) – Played an important role in the goal. A really good cameo – 7
Jay Fulton (on for Ronald 90) – N/A
Bobby Wales (on for Cullen 90+7) – N/A
