Fiona Barry sent a powerful strike beyond Molly Arnesen from distance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An electric start to the second half saw the Bluebirds make it 3-0 by the 50<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;minute, as

she fired home after the visitors failed to deal with Shauna Chambers\u2019 delivery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chivers scored what proved to be the winner for Swansea in the 70<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;minute
