Swansea City Under-21s recorded a second emphatic win in succession and extended their unbeaten home run to 18 league games against Fleetwood Town in the Professional Development League.
An own goal from Harry Wright-Ocana and a goal from Joel Cotterill gave the home side a 2-0 lead at the interval.
Wales Under-21 international Cotterill went on to add his second after the break, before Maliq Cadogan – fresh from a hat-trick against Watford last week – rounded off the scoring.
Coach Anthony Wright had retained the same starting XI from the win at Vicarage Road, while forward Kyrell Wilson among the substitutes after three months out.
The first chance of the contest fell to the Swans, with Cadogan seeing an effort and a follow-up strike blocked by Fleetwood keeper Pat Boyes.
The hosts assumed control of the game, and good link play between Cadogan, Glory Nzingo and Ben Lloyd ended with the latter firing in a cross that Boyes managed to gather in.
Lloyd would be involved in the opener a few minutes later, his cross was inadvertently turned into his own net by Wright-Ocana under pressure from Charlie Veevers.
More chances followed, Cameron Congreve beat his man and delivered a chipped cross to Lloyd, who struck a volley over the bar.
The Swans added a second soon after as Cotterill struck a fantastic free-kick from just outside the box which flew past Boyes to double the lead.
Veevers nearly added a third when he unleashed a powerful shot from distance which flew just over the bar.
The Cod Army’s first opportunity of the game arrived shortly before half-time when Pharrell Brown cut in from the left hand-side, but his tame effort was easily held by Evan Watts.
The second half started slowly, with no clear-cut chances for either side.
Captain Filip Lissah had the first big opportunity on the hour mark when a great delivery from a Coterill corner fell to him, but he was unable to make a clean connection with the ball and his effort drifted wide.
Congreve had the next effort at goal when he was played in behind by Lissah, only to slice his shot wide.
But Swansea would add to their tally when Wilson and Cadogan combined to tee up Cotterill, who unleashed a thunderous strike into the net from distance.
Cadogan fired an effort straight at Boyes, but did get his goal when he reacted first to a ball into the box to beat the keeper.
Swansea City Under-21s: Evan Watts, Kian Jenkins, Sebastian Dabrowski (Iestyn Jones 58), Joel Cotterill, Filip Lissah (Thomas Woodward 75), Mitchell Bates, Cameron Congreve, Charlie Veevers, Maliq Cadogan, Ben Lloyd, Glory Nzingo (Kyrell Wilson 65).
Unused Substitutes: Kit Margetson, Sammy Henia-Kamau.
Fleetwood Town Under-21s: Pat Boyes, Raff Cirino, Harry Wright-Ocana, Pele Smith (Jack Doherty 78), Conor Haughey (Adham Slater 45), Finley Potter, Trialist (Josh Edwards 70), Sam Glenfield, Tom Hoyle, Pharell Brown, Liam Roberts (David Animasaun 70).
Unused Substitutes: Oliver Bellzia.

"Ten-man Swansea City Under-18s battled to a draw against Watford at Landore in the Professional Development League.
Thomas Woodward's goal saw the Swans pick up a point against the Hornets to extend their unbeaten run to six games.
The away side had taken the lead through Jonathan Lawson while the Swans had to play the entirety of the second half a man down after Thomas Searle saw red for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
Swansea had shown three changes from the Professional Development League Cup win against the Hornets on Tuesday, with Harlan Perry, Jack Cooper and Seb Dabrowski all returning to the side.
However, Watford took the lead within the first five minutes. Lawson won the ball high up the pitch and drove into the box before unleashing a curling strike that flew into the bottom corner to open the scoring.
The Swans almost replied immediately. Sammy Henia-Kamau brought down a long ball, but his effort was straight at Sam Morris in the Watford goal.
However, Swansea did get the equaliser 10 minutes later when a quick counter-attack resulted in Henia-Kamau playing Woodward through on goal, and the forward slotted the ball home.
Watford then had a fantastic chance to retake the lead but Lawson was denied by Margetson, who parried the ball away, with Kristian Shevchenko’s follow-up effort blocked by covering defenders.
Shevchenko continued to look bright in the early stages, and he played in Max Hunt, who forced Margetson into another good save.
The Swans responded and almost took the lead for the first time, only for Morris to get down well to save a close-range effort from Dabrowski.
The hosts were then reduced to 10 men late into the first half, Searle was dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity when he brought down Shevchenko just outside the box.
It left Swansea facing an uphill challenge, and the first chance of the second half fell to the Hornets when a Conrad Hunt strike was well saved by Margetson, who made the block with his leg.
The game became scrappy with stoppages throughout the second half, although a chance did fall to Watford’s Alfie King, but he could not keep his header on target from a cross.
Down the other end, Perry sent a free-kick flew just past the post from 20 yards out, while Josh Pescatore's audacious long-range effort drifted just wide as the spoils were shared. "
Swansea City Under 18s: Kit Margetson, Harlan Perry, Tom Searle, Jacob Cook, Jack Cooper (captain), Iestyn Jones, Aimar Govea (Josh Pescatore 58’), Yori Griffith, Sammy Henia-Kamau (Caio Ifans 58’), Tom Woodward, Sebastian Dabrowski.
Unused substitutes: Teo Minchev, Ewan Griffiths, Aidan Higgins
Watford Under-18s: Sam Morris, Ollie Stephenson, Conrad Hunt, Jack Taylor (captain), Victor Wachowicz, Alfie King, Kristian Shevchenko (Leo Ramirez-Espain 45’), Josh Riza(Hayden Barrett 86’), Jonathan Lawson, Max Smith (Kash Odiase 45’), Ignachio Romero-Garcia (Amani Bonlin 80’).
