Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers was delighted with the 3-1 victory at Tranmere which saw his side progress in the Carling Cup. Two second-half goals in 60 seconds from Cedric van der Gun and Scott Sinclair saw the Swans come from behind to make it into the third round after Enoch Showunmi had given Rovers the lead. Rodgers said: "We had plenty of possession, but no penetration in the first half. We made a mistake and went a goal behind. "The reaction of the players was fantastic in the second half. We were a bit more aggressive, and it paid off. All round, the team was very good, and Sinclair made an impact when he came on. "It was important to get into the next round with a chance to demonstrate our ability against a big club. We also wanted to show we can win away from home, and that's what we did very well. "I made changes because I felt I could pick a team to win a game. The players on the fringes had a chance to prove something, and did so."
