Andre Ayew scores on the stroke of half-time to put Swansea ahead in the English Championship
Ghana and Swansea star Andre AyewGhana skipper Andre Ayew scored his fifteenth goal of the season for Swansea to give his sides hopes of Premier League promotion a massive lift.The welsh side went into the game against Millwall on the back of four defeats on the spin and seeing their automatic promotion bid spiralling out of control, but Ayew received a pass from on-loan Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane before curling home to give his side a life-line just before the break.Ayew has been the go-to-man again for Steve Cooper’s side and his 30 goals in the last two seasons have placed Swansea in the top six of the Championship table in the last two years.A win today at the Den will move Swansea to third on the table and close the gap on second placed Watford to ten, with a game in hand and eight games to end the season. Tariqe Fosu’s Brentford though will have the chance to respond when they take on Preston later today.Ghana international Ayew’s goal also means he’s equaled his tally for last season with eight games to spare and you won’t bet against him hitting the 20 goal mark this season if his side is to grab a ticket to the Premier League.
Andre Ayew gave Swansea the lead on the stroke of half-time with this wonderful strike.
