Swansea City striker Gorka Pintado scored just twice last season

Gorka Pintado scored his first goals for six months as the Spanish striker gave new Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers a nudge on their Dutch tour.

Pintado's double against third-tier side Haaglandia eased the Swans to a fourth successive pre-season win.

Nathan Dyer pounced to open the scoring on 17 minutes after Alan Tate's effort was saved before David Cotterill made the most of a defensive error to score.

Serano van de Hurk scored a Haaglandia consolation before Pintado took over.

Pintado's first goal since January was a stunning volley, after turning and firing home an Albert Serran long-ball, into the roof of the net.

Before the 32-year-old sealed the convincing win in the final minute after he fired Mark Gower's ball into the net.

Dutch under-21 midfielder and trialist Kemy Agustien impressed on his Swansea debut as manager Rodgers changed his entire starting XI at half-time with Swansea's second friendly of their Dutch tour against VC Sparta on Thursday in mind.
