Laudrup thrilled to see Swansea in top gear against Malmo

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup was over the moon with his side's performance in Europa League qualifying on Thursday night.

The Swans defeated Swedish side Malmo 4-0 at the Liberty Stadium in the first leg of third round qualifiers which delighted the Danish tactician who saw new signing Wilfried Bony score a brace whilst Michu and Bony's fellow summer signing Alejandro Pozuelo were also on the scoresheet.

"We had five new players, we need some time for everyone to get to know each other but if we win 4-0 in a game like this with a lot of people not knowing each other yet - then it's not too bad," he said.

"It's a perfect night. Four goals, not conceding any away goals, two goals from the new man Bony, Michu is back scoring a goal, Pozuelo got a goal in his first game for the club, no injuries - it's perfect."
