Laudrup enjoys dream start at Swansea

Michael Laudrup could not have dreamt of a better start to life as Swansea manager after watching his side thrash QPR 5-0 in west London.

Summer signing Michu broke the deadlock after just eight minutes and doubled Swansea's tally in the second half, netting an exquisite curling left-foot strike. The old guard wrapped up the 5-0 victory as Nathan Dyer grabbed a brace and Scott Sinclair struck to get Laudrup's life at the Swansea helm off to the best possible start.

"That was impressive," the Dane said. "Winning the first game in my debut - and also the team's first in their second season in the Premier - away and 5-0. I don't think anyone could've dreamed about that."
