However, the Barcelona-based club had to wait until six minutes before half time before finally taking the lead after Raul Tamudo latched onto to a Garcia free kick to head home and give his side a well deserved lead. <\/p>\n<p>Espanyol continued to dominated the game in the second half and Martinez made several changes at the interval with Javi Ruiz, Valdo, Lacruz, Torrej&oacute;n, Beranger, Sielva, &Aacute;ngel, Riera, Juli&aacute;n, Rufete, Jonathan all coming on to get a taste of the action. <\/p>\n<p>Jonathan doubled the homeside&#39;s lead just after the hour mark after he mopped up Rufete&#39;s saved drive from Swansea goalkeeper De Vries. <\/p>\n<p>Albert Riera showed just why several top European sides including Liverpool are after him when he added a stunning third with a delightful back heel which left the Swans defence red faced. <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#39;t long before Riera, who was man of the match, completed the rout with a&nbsp;great strike two minutes from time to cap off a great performance by the Spanish side who have, so far, been in brilliant form throughout pre-season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Espanyol: Chica, Victor Ruiz, Didac, de la Pena, Luis Garcia, Callejon, Coro, Jarque, Moises, Tamudo, C Alvarez.
