Swansea remain in the automatic promotion places after a comfortable 3-0 home win over fellow promotion candidates Leeds. Swans boss Brendan Rodgers called it "a wonderful performance."

He said: "I'm proud of the players. It was a wonderful performance and great result.

"I like winning games but I also want to do it in style.

"Some of our play and invention was fantastic against a very good side going forward.

"Leeds have scored the most amount of goals in this league so to restrict them to just one shot on target showed our superiority in the game.

"We started really well and I believe the best teams do that. They start quick and finish strong.

"The first goal was terrific. It was a marvellous pass from goalkeeper Dorus de Vries and he is like an outfield player.

"All our offensive players were excellent but Nathan Dyer produced a brilliant piece of skill for the second goal and the third one was a wonderful team goal. We are happy.

"It's three points and it's what we want from a game. Three points, clean sheet and the fans go home happy."

Leeds manager Simon Grayson was brutal in his assessment of his team's woeful showing.

Grayson said: "I thought we were poor from start to finish. Swansea were very good, they passed the ball around, closed us down well and we didn't impose our own game. We were lacklustre and we gave away possession very cheaply.

"But, in saying that, I thought we should create some half-decent chances.

"At 1-0, we hit the bar and then had a blatant penalty turned down. It wasn't given and it was a massive turning point in the game.

"No matter how poorly we played if we scored the penalty, at 1-1 then we are right back in the game.

"It could have been the spark and lifeline we needed and how the officials missed it I do not know.

"But, overall we probably got what we deserved out of the game and that was a defeat.

"Swansea are a good team and we knew it would be tough. Things didn't go for us but we have always reacted well from defeats this season."
