What just happened in Swansea City's behind-closed-doors friendly no-one saw against Bristol Rovers

Swansea City followed up their 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle in midweek with two games against Bristol Rovers at Fairwood on Saturday.

The encounters against the Gas were further useful exercises for head coach Russell Martin and his players, who got more miles in the tank in searing conditions on the edge of Gower. Swansea won the first game 2-1 and the second finished 1-1.

Like the ties against Colchester United and Forest Green Rovers, the match - made up of two 60-minute games - was played behind closed doors at the Swans' training base as Martin prepares his team for the start of the Championship season away at Rotherham United at the end of the month.
