Scotland scored twice as he reacted to being left out in midweek and left the Liberty Stadium to a standing ovation having just missed out on a hat-trick in yesterday’s game.

A goal in either half added to a header that hit the bar and a ball he couldn’t quite control meant for a more than satisfactory afternoon for last year’s player of the season.

Scotland grabbed his first Liberty league goals of the season as the Swans slayed the morning leaders in Wolves to move up to 8th place in the Championship table heading into the second international break of the season.

And Roberto was more than happy with how his striker had reacted to being left out of the squad that triumphed at Preston and told the Evening Post “Jason looked sharp from the first second

“It was the first time he set the tempo for the team. He looked strong with the ball and showed a bit of magic as well.

“That tells you his confidence is there and it was the way to react after midweek.”
