Michael Laudrup was understandably a delighted man after his side demolished West Ham 3-0 at the Liberty to go top of the Premier League

Laudrup said after the game "It was a fantastic result to get a win in my first home game

"The first half we scored two goals but we suffered a little with set pieces from West Ham - they had a lot of big guys there and they could have scored a goal.

"I the second half I think we controlled everything and once we scored the third goal the result was done.

"The fans enjoy it when we win but they have a style here that is creative and we have made small changes and continued it this season.  We want to play the way Swansea have for 4 to 5 years.

"To start with two games and two wins though is great."

Laudrup described the two wide men in Wayne Routledge and Nathan Dyer as "deadly' when asked of their performances.

"They can go deep as they are so fast as well - we try to get the best out of all our players and they are giving us a big performance in the first two games.

"Leon is very good at finding a position in front of the two centre backs and it is a very important position so he and his precision is very important."

Laudrup was not surprised at his new signings finding their feet so quickly having worked with some of them before and knows that the likes of JOnathan De Guzman is getting fitter game by game.

"It seems like they have been here for 6-9 months."

On the Scott Sinclair front, Laudrup said "He scored a great goal last week but the last 3-4 days there has been plenty going on with offers and we agreed it was better he stayed out of the squad and we will see what happens next week.

"Names in and out will continue until next Friday and from next Saturday we can talk only about what is happening on the pitch

"We look well but there will be bad days ahead but what you have got cannot be taken away."
