A young Bristol City side kept their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 of the Premier League Cup alive with a stunning 4-0 victory at Swansea City, the runaway Premier League 2 Division 2 leaders. 

Opi Edwards scored after 11 minutes at Landore, before a deflected Joe McNulty free-kick made it 2-0 despite a wave of Swansea pressure.

Freddie Hinds added a third late on and George Nurse made it 4-0 in stoppage time for a team which included five under-18 players.

The result lifts the Robins to within a point of second-placed Newcastle United, who are level with Swansea with one round left to play.

Bristol City must beat Swansea at home and hope Newcastle do not win against leaders Southampton, who are two points clear, to finish runners-up and reach the last 16.
