Swansea City forward Andre Ayew believes their 3-1 win at the weekend against Middlesborough will spark a run of good form from the Swans ahead of the upcoming games.

The Welsh side had not won a game in their last six fixtures before yesterday's win. The Ghana captain netted a brace in their 3-1 victory against Boro.

“We must continue working hard and playing,” he said after the game.

“We can’t get carried away; it’s only a victory. It’s a good one but we needed it after a tough week.

“We started really badly but it’s ended well. We need to focus on what’s coming.

“We’ve had a series of bad results, so we now need to get a series of good results to catch up.

“We know it’s important to win in front of our great fans. They love the club with all their hearts and always come in their numbers – whether things are going well or not.

“They have been disappointed with how results have gone lately because we haven’t got good results but, for me, that’s normal when they see the quality of players that we have.

“So to get the victory is good. I hope it’s the beginning of a series.”
