In an intense Championship showdown, Swansea City AFC faced off against Watford FC on December 30, 2022. The match proved to be a memorable one for Swansea fans, as the team secured a commanding win.

The game started with Swansea showing aggressive play, but their enthusiasm also led to early bookings, with Matt Grimes and Harry Darling receiving yellow cards at the 9th and 28th minutes, respectively. Despite these early cautions, Swansea kept their composure and continued to press forward.

Their efforts were rewarded in the 39th minute when J. Piroe found the back of the net, giving Swansea a deserved lead going into the half-time break. The second half saw the home team pick up where they left off, though Jay Fulton joined his teammates in the referee's book with a yellow card at the hour mark.

Swansea's substitution magic worked wonders when L. Cullen scored a normal goal at the 74th minute, boosting the lead. He was then substituted three minutes later—a notable contribution in his brief appearance.

The highlight for Swansea came when J. Piroe scored his second goal of the night at the 78-minute mark, followed by a late strike from J. Latibeaudiere in the 87th minute, sealing an emphatic victory for Swansea City AFC.
