Trundle proved Swansea's inspiration at Port Vale

"We're hitting the gears and back near the top where we should be," said Trundle, who scored one and made the other in the 2-0 win at Port Vale.

"That sets us up nicely for the big game with Bristol City next Sunday when we'll have a full Liberty Stadium."

Swansea manager Kenny Jackett added: "It'll be a local derby before a full house, and the game will be crucial in terms of the top of the table."

I thought I'd try to run the clock down, but the defender came at me so I took them on Lee Trundle on the second goal at Port Vale

Trundle waited for 88 minutes before turning on the magic at Vale, Tom Butler setting up his goal.

The striker returned the compliment with some spectacular trickery on the wing to set up Butler for his first Swansea goal.

"You can only hit the post for so long," joked Butler. "I always thought there was a goal in us, but it was pure relief when Lee scored the first.

"After that I thought he was going to hold it up in the corner for the final minute, but he wanted to run.

"He beat two players, got the ball to me, and I managed to get a foot on the end of it."

Trundle added: "I thought I'd try to run the clock down, but the defender came at me so I took them on."

Jackett could only admire his star striker's inspiration.

"There's always a sense of anticipation when Lee gets the ball," the Swansea boss told BBC Sport Wales.
