The Ivorian scored his first goals since November 10, and his superb performance was undoubtedly his best since his £12million move from Vitesse Arnhem.
Michael Laudrup: "I think it was by far the best performance from Bony as a Swansea player and that is how we want to see him.
"He showed good movement, he was challenging defenders and if he can do it against Vincent Kompany and Matija Nastasic he can do it against anyone. I think that was very positive."
At full-time Bony revealed a t-shirt with the words 'RIP Anouk' on the front, and the Ivorian explained he had been paying tribute to a friend who had died from cancer.
"I lost a friend, she had cancer and died the other week in Holland. She died just before the Aston Villa game but I did not score, today I got two so I dedicated my goals to her."
Michael Laudrup: "Pablo Hernandez was injured in the first half but we hope it will not prove too serious.
"I don't really know how bad it is, when I first saw it I thought it was one of those hamstring problems that can keep you out for four or five weeks.
"But the doctors said it may not be bad and maybe it might be like Bony's injury against Valencia, where we thought it would be serious but he was out for two weeks."
