Wycombe shocked Championship side Swansea in the Carabao Cup as a first-half strike from Richard Kone earned the visitors a 1-0 win in the second round.

Following on from their 2-0 home win at Northampton in the first round, Matt Bloomfield’s League One side fully deserved the upset win as they booked their place in round three for just the third time in the club’s history.

Kieran Sadlier had already missed a golden chance to put them ahead, firing wide with his left foot after going through, when five minutes before the break Kone made no mistake from close range after being teed up by Matt Butcher.

Swansea, who made eight changes from the derby draw with Cardiff on Sunday, barely threatened until manager Luke Williams made a triple substitution just before the hour mark, sending on Ben Cabango, Josh Tymon and Ronald.

And it was Ronald whose floated cross created a big chance for Florian Bianchini at the back post, but the Frenchman skewed his header back across goal.

Joe Allen and Liam Cullen were also thrown into the mix as Swansea pressed, but after Allen could only stab over following a goalmouth scramble, the visitors held on.
