Darren Pratley's double enhanced Swansea's automatic promotion hopes as they comfortably overcame npower Championship strugglers Bristol City 2-0. The midfielder opened the scoring in the 10th minute and struck again midway through the second half to reawaken City's relegation fears. A sixth away victory of the season was no more than Brendan Rodgers' high-flying side deserved as they created chances throughout and forced several fine saves from former England goalkeeper David James. The visitors when Pratley collected a pass from Luke Moore and hit a superb 18-yard right-foot shot into the top left-hand corner. And in the 67th minute an inswinging corner from Mark Gower fell to Pratley and he swept the ball home right-footed from six yards out.
