Swansea City won the Capital One Cup on Sunday (telegraph.co.uk)
I know it's a couple of days late, but the Puddle would like to pass on congratulations to Swansea City FC, who won the Capital One Cup this weekend, capturing the first major trophy available to the Premier League Clubs this season.
The Swans took League 2 side Bradford City to the woodshed on Sunday, with a cracking 5-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium. It only took Swansea 16 minutes to go ahead, and their cause was aided by a red card given to Bradford's Mark Duke early on in the second half. The final margin was the largest in the history of the League Cup.
The victory is historic for a number of reasons. First off, Swansea become the first Welsh side to win the League Cup. It's also their first major trophy and punches a ticket to next year's Europa League. Personally, I love to watch the Swans play football, they do it right. It'll be really interesting to see how they stack up against other European sides next season!
I also wouldn't be surprised to see the side collect another trophy or two in the next few years.
