Guillem Bauza celebrates his first goal against Leyton Orient

Swansea City hero Guillem Bauza celebrated his first Football League hat-trick by asking his team-mates to sign the match ball.

Bauza's goals came in the first-half of the Division One table-toppers' 4-1 win over Leyton Orient on Saturday.

He said: "It's my first hat-trick in Britain I will keep that ball forever.

"It's a great feeling when you score three goals and I asked all my team-mates to sign it because I wanted to be reminded of this moment forever."

He added: "I want them to be part of my hat-trick because without them I couldn't score any goals."

The Welsh club must await for the outcome of Leeds' appeal against the deduction of 15 points before the Football League will give them the trophy.

But the club and its fans went ahead with their own celebrations after the final whistle at Liberty Stadium.

Bauza said: "I think we deserve to be champions and I think at the end of all this we are going to be champions.

"Everyone is looking forward to Championship football next season. We will do our best and hope we are successful next season."
