Swansea's Wayne Routledge scores twice in pre-season win over Charlotte Independence

Wayne Routledge scored twice for Swansea City as they recorded a 4-0 win over Charlotte Independence in their pre-season match in North Carolina.

Francesco Guidolin's side had a comfortable run-out in the heat of the Ramblewood Stadium as the United Soccer League side failed to get on the scoresheet.

Oliver McBurnie opened the scoring as his 25-yard strike found the back of the net in the 26th minute, and the Swans headed into the half-time break with a slender lead.

Routledge added two goals to the scoreline in the 52nd and 71st minutes, while Kenji Gorre completed the comprehensive win by netting nine minutes from time.

New arrival Mike van der Hoorn made his debut in defence for the team, but goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel, Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis were notable absentees.
