Swansea City bowed out of the Premier League International Cup with a dramatic 2-0 defeat by Athletic Bilbao B at Landore training ground.

In a frantic finish the Welsh side conceded two goals and had two players sent off in the final minutes.

In the 89th minute they fell behind when Inigo Vicente cut inside and scored with a low shot.

In stoppage time, Swansea's Adnan Maric was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge.

Vicente scored his second before Jordon Garrick was also dismissed.

While Swansea finish second in Group D behind Manchester United, their three points are not enough to claim a best runners-up spot.
