Matt Grimes turned 20 today and found the perfect way to celebrate when he scored his first Swans goal in the 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in Grassau.

Grimes was on hand to turn in Wayne Routledge's cross in the second half to earn the Swans a draw in the opening friendly of their German tour - the perfect tonic for the youngster who joined the Swans from Exeter back in January.

There are big things predicted for Grimes this season and he is one of the reasons why it seems certain that Leon Britton will be on his way out of the club this summer after such a distinguished career.

Whilst he may find himself behind the likes of Cork, Shelvey and Ki immediately, Monk is known to want to give more game time to Grimes and even Jay Fulton so the goal from Grimes will have been perfectly timed for him with the new season less than four weeks away.

And the youngster was delighted to get his name on the scoresheet as he took to Twitter after the game where he said "Good to get some minutes tonight against a tough side.. Great feeling to get on the scoresheet aswell, been a while"

It will be interesting to see now the line up that happens on Saturday against 1860 Munich but with Grimes on form and amongst the goals its a nice headache to give the manager with Chelsea looming larger on the horizon
