Fernando Llorente debuts in Swansea's win; Everton beaten by Espanyol

New signing Fernando Llorente was part of Swansea City's starting XI as the Welsh side recorded a 1-0 friendly win over Rennes at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

The 31-year-old Spanish striker, who joined the Swans from Sevilla on Friday, played for just under an hour and hit the post with one shot in a contest that was settled by a header from substitute Jay Fulton with 20 minutes to go.

Jefferson Montero had the chance to double the lead in an open game, but saw his late effort fly wide as the home side created plenty of chances.
