Ghana forward André Ayew rescued a point for Swansea City in their 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday night in Championship.

Former Swansea striker Danny Graham gave the Blackburn Rovers an early lead with a close-range finish in the 4th minute of the game.

But Swansea City equalised just six minutes later as leading scorer Andre Ayew headed home to rescue a vital point for the home side.

The next bit of action saw Swansea’s Tom Carroll and Blackburn’s Bradley Dack both sent off for two bookable offences.

Ayew put an incredible performance and had three shots on target, four successful dribbles from five, 57 touches, 30 accurate passes (90.9%) and four accurate long balls from four, all in the 90 minutes he featured.

He also won four of six aerial duels, seven of 11 ground duels, two tackles, two interceptions and three clearances.

The result leaves Swansea on the 11th position and are four points from the final promotion playoff spot.
