Tough day for Swansea City as Derby County triumph at Pride Park! Despite a promising start, the Swans were unable to hold off Derby in the second half, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat. Former Swan, Rhian Brewster, made quite the comeback, netting Derby’s first goal off a corner, with Patrick Agyemang sealing another with a powerful header.
The Swans had their chances early on, with Lawrence Vigouroux making a crucial save from a free-kick, while Liam Cullen’s attempt just whisked past the post. However, Swansea couldn’t capitalise and soon found themselves chasing as Brewster opened the tally. Derby, showing strong prowess from set-pieces, doubled their lead through Agyemang, leaving Swansea’s defence looking shaky.
Even with attacking bursts from players like Eom Ji-sung and Gustavo Nunes, Swansea struggled to find the back of the net. The Rams sealed their sweet victory, marking their first at Pride Park since New Year’s Day, and moving them up to sixth in the league standings.
A game dominated by missed opportunities and shaky marking for the Swans, it’s back to the drawing board as they aim to turn fortunes around on the road. Keep an eye on their next match as they strive for redemption! 🦢⚽ #SwanseaCity #DerbyCounty #FootballDrama
