Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock has expressed his wary about the threat Andre Ayew possesses.
Middlesbrough hosted Swansea City at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday and came away with a 2-1 win.
Andre who has been magnificent for the Swans, was expected to lead the side against their opponents but in the end, Middlesbrough had the last laugh.
Swansea forward Andre Ayew scored three times against Middlesbrough last season.
“Swansea probably got me the job here didn’t they, that was the game before I came,” said Warnock when asked about opponents.
“By all accounts that was a comprehensive victory by them and they have won quite a lot this season. They have a good side and a good squad."
“They probably have the highest-paid player in the league and one of the best forwards in Ayew who is a match for anyone in this league and the Premier League," he added.
Ayew has netted six goals so far this season.
In the end, Middlesbrough were able to mitigate Ayew's threat as they recorded a 2-1 victory over Swansea on Wednesday.
