Ayew rescues Swansea City from defeat against Nyambe’s Blackburn Rovers

Andre Ayew’s first-half penalty proved crucial for Swansea City in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers.

The Swans conceded first against the hosts, albeit, the Ghana international levelled matters for Steve Cooper’s side at Ewood Park.

Swansea came into the game on the back of their 2-1 defeat of Middlesbrough at the Liberty Stadium – where Ayew found the net twice. Despite their recent impressive results, they fell behind in the 37 minutes thanks to Bradley Dack’s low strike from Tom Trybull’s assist.
