In form Jordan Ayew receives praise from manager Carvalhal

Published on: 31 January 2018

Ghana striker Jordan Ayew has been praised by his manager at Swansea City  Carlos Carvalhal for his recent amazing form in the English Premier League.

Ayew was one of the brightest spot for the SWANS in their 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday night.

''We knew what would happen in this game – we knew Arsenal would have the ball more because they do that against almost every side,'' Carvalhal added.

''But we blocked their dynamic. They like to play between the lines and we blocked them, which meant they had a huge problem creating goalscoring situations.

''A fundamental thing in the game was that our defensive transitions were very strong. Arsenal can hurt you in these situations, but Jordan Ayew was absolutely amazing in the way he received the ball and waited for the second line of players.

''This was crucial for us. We knew if we could do it, we would create chances and we had three or four in the first half.

''In the second half it was more difficult because they put two players out wide, but we waited for our moment and we scored.

''In the end, although they had more possession, we had more chances and the score was 3-1, so we are happy about that.''
