The 31-year-old continued his impressive goalscoring form for the Swans as they picked up all three points at the Liberty Stadium.

Ayew opened the scoring for the hosts after taking advantage of a defensive error.

His strike separated both teams for the majority of the encounter until Egyptian midfielder Sam Morsy grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser for Middlesbrough.

Both teams were poised to share the spoils on Saturday after the leveller but Jake Bidwell won a penalty for the hosts in the last minute of added time which was converted by Ayew.
