Nathan Dyer scores a brace to help Swansea City to a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion which continues their 100% start to the Premier League season.

Nathan Dyer scored twice as Swansea City cruised to a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League this afternoon.

Swansea were ahead just two minutes into the tie when Gylfi Sigurdsson set up Dyer to round Ben Foster before guiding the ball into the back of the net.

Wilfried Bony had a couple of chances to double their advantage, firing just high shortly after the first goal before blasting the ball over the crossbar again later in the half.

However, the hosts did manage to extend their lead midway through the period, with Wayne Routledge controlling a high ball upfield before hitting it sweetly on the volley into the bottom corner.

Swansea could have had a third when Jonas Olsson mistimed a header, nodding the ball off his own crossbar.

Bony was involved again at the start of the second half as the striker picked up the ball from Dyer just a couple of minutes after the restart, but he could not convert his first goal of the season.

The Welsh side wanted a penalty when Andre Wisdom cleared a Bony effort of the line, with the hosts claiming that the on-loan defender used his hand, but the referee waved away their appeals.

It did not matter though, as Swansea did score a third a few minutes later, with Dyer firing a powerful low effort past Foster to complete his brace.

West Brom finished the match strongly as they sought a late consolation goal, but Saido Berahino just missed the target, while Lukasz Fabianski pulled off a late save from the same player.

The result leaves Swansea at the top of the Premier League table with a 100% record, while West Brom sit 17th.
