First of all: thanks to whoever at Wolves organised the free transport: much appreciated.
Wolves began on the front foot, taking the game to Swansea, and created a couple of early chances before Christian Herc brilliantly beat Tremmel from 20 yards. The rest of the half was a fairly even affair, if slightly edged by Wolves, although both teams should have found the scoresheet.
Slack finishing from Wolves'' Aaron Collins and Swansea''s Daniel James and Owain Jones meant it remained 1-0 to Sellars'' side at the break.
Swansea currently sit top of the under-23 league that they are Wolves are in - and therefore it was no surprise that they improved rapidly after the break.
They took just 90 seconds to level things up when Oliver McBurnie, (who surely should have been sent off for a wild and reckless challenge in the first half) stabbed home from close range after a right-wing cross wasn''t dealt with. The Swans had Wolves on the ropes for the next 10 minutes and Tyler Reid should have doubled their lead. Credit to the young Wolves who weathered the storm and re-grouped. On 74 minutes the teams traded chances in the space of 60 seconds - McBurnie''s header hitting the post before substitute Bradley Reid was denied by Tremmel when clear in the box.
The game opened up again and the game was poised on a knife edge, but dangerman McBurnie, two minutes after his overhead kick was brilliantly saved by Burgoyne, nodded home a cross to win it for the Swans.
Despite there being six minutes of injury time Wolves couldn''t muster a response.
