Two goals from Thomas Butler helped Swansea to a crushing win over the league leaders.<\/p>\n
Paul Anderson set up the in-form winger for the opener after just five minutes, Butler firing past Leyton Orient keeper Stuart Nelson from 25 yards.<\/p>\n
Darren Pratley volleyed the second from long-range moments after the break then Butler’s fine show and go cleared the way for his low shot hit past Nelson.<\/p>\n
The outstanding Anderson sneaked another low shot in, and Warren Feeney turned in the fifth in the last minute.<\/p>\n
Manager Martinez thought that the result reflected the quality within his squad.<\/p>\n
“We carried on where we left off against Swindon the previous Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“We showed the same determination and unity and that allowed our talent to shine.<\/p>\n
“But there’s a long way to go. We have to keep working and when some of the players return from injury, we’ll have a very strong and competitive squad all fighting for places.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
