 Kevin McLeod led the way for Swansea with a hat-trick |
Swansea ripped Bristol City to pieces during a fine second-half display sparked by Kevin McLeod's hat-trick. McLeod curled in his first just before half-time and Adebayo Akinfenwa's cross-shot made it 2-0 after the break.
Lee Trundle notched from the spot after Jamie Smith fouled Roberto Martinez and McLeod and Trundle struck again.
Leon Britton burst through for a sixth, David Cotterill pulled one back before McLeod's third but the Swans had Kevin Austin dismissed for two yellow cards.
