Leyton Orient 0- 5 Swansea City
League One leaders Leyton Orient were treated to a display of striking dominance today. An absoloutely stunning first goal from Butler put Swansea ahead early in the match. Tallest nearly bagged the second with a good header from a corner, but Nelson tipped it over the bar. Straight from the second half kick off the Swans went 2-0 up with another spectacular goal. Swansea continued to run Orient ragged down the flanks and the game became a procession towards the Orient goal. The 3rd came from the left flank and Nelson let the fourth slip under his body s the shot came in from the right. Goal number five had the Swansea fans singing all the way home.
Tallest didn't have much to do and marshalled the defence solidly. Scottie tied up the central defenders enough to allow space behind him and on the flanks, with Orients central pairing never quite comfortable. He damaged his wrist in a fall in the first half, and this may have taken some of the edge off his game, but he soldiered on valiently.
Unfortunately for Orient, it was one of those days where 5 speculative shots hit the target. On another day, it could have been 0-0, but, as Bill Shankly once said, "the crime is not to shoot and miss, the crime is not to shoot at all".
Had a brief chat with Dennis after. Nice to see him and Scottie enjoying their football. It must be a long time since a top of the table team lost 5-0 at home!
