The game was Ayew's first for Swansea since signing for the Swanson transfer deadline day.

He came on for Spanish forward Fernando Llorente in the 72nd minute with the Swans cruising 2-0 courtesy two first half goals by Alfie Mawson and Martin Olsson.

Swansea boss during the week assured that Ayew was ready to make his debut despite his exertions at the 2017 AFCON.

The result gave Swansea 24 points and lifted them to 15th place while Leicester City are in 17th place hovering just outside the relegation sone in 17th place.
