Swansea City began their pre-season with a comfortable 4-0 win over Charlotte Independence in USA.
Mike van der Hoorn made his Swans debut in defence after his recent move from Ajax, while the only absentees from the tour party were goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel and striker Andre Ayew.
Swansea took the lead in the 27th minute, Oliver McBurnie's curling effort flying into the top corner from 25 yards.
Wayne Routledge doubled their lead after the break, arriving at the far post to tuck home Angel Rangel's cross.
Routledge grabbed a second later in the half, rounding the goalkeeper to slot home after Modou Barrow had sent him through.
Kenji Gorre tapped home with nine minutes remaining after Routledge had narrowly missed the ball from the close range.
"I am happy," Swans manager Francesco Guidolin told the club's website. "Our pre-season is going well. It is good - the players have worked very, very well.
"The first test was a little bit strong, but we played well.
"I chose to play two halves with different players because we are not ready, but I saw some important things and I am happy with this game and with this period.
"It is a positive for us. Our players worked very hard and it is a good moment."
