ORIENT were blown away by League One champions Swansea City in a whirlwind first half at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Swansea's Spanish forward Guillem Bauza struck a 19-minute hat-trick to help his side to a 4-0 interval lead and illustrate how far off the pace Orient have dropped in the second half of the season.

Mercifully, Orient improved after the break and pulled a goal back through Wayne Gray, but that did little to mask the deficiencies so brutally exposed in the first half.
