Ghana skipper Andre Ayew says he's prepared to take Swansea City's responsibility on his shoulders and he will never shy away from fronting up and facing the pressure situations.
The 31-year-old continued his impressive goalscoring form for the Swans as he scored twice in their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough in the English Championship on Saturday at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea City are now third in the table with 65 points from 33 games, a point behind Watford who have played two games more.
"I’m happy to take the responsibility on my shoulders. I will never shy away from fronting up and facing the pressure situations, so it’s my duty to take penalties at difficult moments," said the Ghana captain as reported by swanseacity.com.
"Being the penalty taker is not always rosy, but it’s something I must do for the team.
"I’m not going to give away any secrets on my penalties, but all I want to see is the ball hit the net.
"It was such a late moment in the game, and it was a great relief to see the ball go in.”
He added, "The wins this week – it’s all for the fans. We know they are watching from home and can’t be at the stadium, but we know they are smiling after these games."
"I’m sure they’ve enjoyed this week – sorry we’ve left it late with the winning goals! I’m sure they celebrated even louder at the final whistle because of the lateness of the goals.
"But we want them to know that we are always giving our all for our club. I’m sure they see that in our performances."
The double extended the Ghana international's tally to 12 goals after 32 league matches for the Swans.
