Swansea 2-0 Doncaster
Trundle has lifted some of the gloom off Swansea City
Lee Trundle grabbed a late double at the Liberty Stadium to give Swansea City their first victory of the season.
The striker opened his account for the season seven minutes from time when he brushed aside two Doncaster defenders and slotted the ball into the net.
And in the final minute, Trundle beat the offside trap before sliding the ball home with another composed finish.
Doncaster rarely threatened the home defence, which was bolstered by debutant centre-back Dennis Lawrence.
