The wonderful Swansea City player ratings as Matt Grimes and Aston Villa loanee Conor Hourihane run riot at Rotherham

FREDDIE WOODMAN 7

Didn't have a save to make in the first half. Not overly tested after the restart either. Not much he could do with the goal.

BEN CABANGO 8

Made his share of defensive interventions to ensure Woodman was rarely troubled. Plenty of clearances too. Good display.

RYAN BENNETT 8

On his return to the starting XI, Bennett made a ridiculous number of clearances and did well to nullify the aerial threat of the Millers. Top stuff.

MARC GUEHI 8

So comfortable in possession and flawless defensively, making his fair share of clearances and tackles. The man is destined for big things. Another top display.

CONNOR ROBERTS 8

A real threat in the attacking third and was defensively sound. Got into plenty of dangerous areas.

MATT GRIMES 8

The captain is flourishing in his current role, and he doubled Swansea's lead with a sublime strike just before half time. So useful on the ball and did his share of defensive work too.

CONOR HOURIHANE - Star Man 8

End product is there for all to see, and his strike for the opener was simply sublime. Set-piece deliveries impressed too. Another very encouraging performance from the loan man.

YAN DHANDA 7

Had some lively moments in Rotherham's half and saw plenty of the ball high up the pitch. Nice touch to set-up Hourihane too. Quiet in the second half before being subbed.

JAKE BIDWELL 7

As with others, Bidwell grew into the game once Swansea went ahead. Carried a threat on the left flank, particularly when Hourihane was in support. Fine assist for the third goal. Solid display.

ANDRE AYEW 7

Booked early on, but really grew into the game. Superb run in the buildup to Swansea's opener and played his part in the third goal too.

JAMAL LOWE 7

Pace caused a number of problems and was unlucky to be denied by Jamal Blackman in the first half. Subbed late on.

Subs

Jay Fulton (for Dhanda) - Came on to shore things up as Rotherham pushed, and he netted within a minute of coming on. A sublime finish and brought much needed stability. 7

Jordan Morris (for Lowe) - Had a few touches late on. 6
