Wrexham fell to a 4-0 defeat at home on Friday evening, a result that flattered neither side's ambitions but left the hosts with serious questions to answer.
Swansea took control early. Nathan Broadhead put the visitors ahead on 25 minutes, finishing with composure after Wrexham's defensive line was split cleanly through the middle. The home side struggled to respond and, when the second half arrived, they were unable to stem the flow.
The game effectively ended as a contest in a frantic stretch between the 59th and 67th minutes. Ji-sung Eom and Liam Cullen both scored in the 59th minute to make it 3-0, with Malick Yalcouyé added to the scoresheet at the same point. Josh Windass extended the advantage to four on 67 minutes, and Wrexham had no answer to the pace and directness Swansea carried in transition.
The final quarter brought a procession of substitutes on both sides. Bailey Cadamarteri, Melker Widell, Josh Tymon and Leo Walta all entered the action, though the game's shape did not change. A second Liam Cullen goal on 88 minutes confirmed the margin.
Swansea were the better organised team across every phase of the match. They pressed high, moved quickly between the lines and punished Wrexham whenever space opened centrally. For the home side, it was a chastening evening that demanded a clear and honest response.
