Swansea City Under-21s recorded a second emphatic win in succession and extended their unbeaten home run to 18 league games against Fleetwood Town in the Professional Development League.
An own goal from Harry Wright-Ocana and a goal from Joel Cotterill gave the home side a 2-0 lead at the interval.
Wales Under-21 international Cotterill went on to add his second after the break, before Maliq Cadogan – fresh from a hat-trick against Watford last week – rounded off the scoring.
Coach Anthony Wright had retained the same starting XI from the win at Vicarage Road, while forward Kyrell Wilson among the substitutes after three months out.
The first chance of the contest fell to the Swans, with Cadogan seeing an effort and a follow-up strike blocked by Fleetwood keeper Pat Boyes.
The hosts assumed control of the game, and good link play between Cadogan, Glory Nzingo and Ben Lloyd ended with the latter firing in a cross that Boyes managed to gather in.
Lloyd would be involved in the opener a few minutes later, his cross was inadvertently turned into his own net by Wright-Ocana under pressure from Charlie Veevers.
More chances followed, Cameron Congreve beat his man and delivered a chipped cross to Lloyd, who struck a volley over the bar.
The Swans added a second soon after as Cotterill struck a fantastic free-kick from just outside the box which flew past Boyes to double the lead.
Veevers nearly added a third when he unleashed a powerful shot from distance which flew just over the bar.
The Cod Army’s first opportunity of the game arrived shortly before half-time when Pharrell Brown cut in from the left hand-side, but his tame effort was easily held by Evan Watts.
The second half started slowly, with no clear-cut chances for either side.
Captain Filip Lissah had the first big opportunity on the hour mark when a great delivery from a Coterill corner fell to him, but he was unable to make a clean connection with the ball and his effort drifted wide.
Congreve had the next effort at goal when he was played in behind by Lissah, only to slice his shot wide.
But Swansea would add to their tally when Wilson and Cadogan combined to tee up Cotterill, who unleashed a thunderous strike into the net from distance.
Cadogan fired an effort straight at Boyes, but did get his goal when he reacted first to a ball into the box to beat the keeper.
Swansea City Under-21s: Evan Watts, Kian Jenkins, Sebastian Dabrowski (Iestyn Jones 58), Joel Cotterill, Filip Lissah (Thomas Woodward 75), Mitchell Bates, Cameron Congreve, Charlie Veevers, Maliq Cadogan, Ben Lloyd, Glory Nzingo (Kyrell Wilson 65).
