Swansea City manager Steve Cooper has heaped praise on Ghana international Andre Ayew after scoring his first goal in the English Championship against Charlton Athletic on Wednesday.
Ayew sealed all three points for his side with a 65th minute strike as the Swans secured a 2-1 away win at the Valley.
The win has lifted Swansea to the summit of the league table after 10 round of matches in the 2019/20 Championship.
The 29-year-old has earned the praise of his boss after scoring to win three points for his club in mid-week.
“Andre is playing well, I have to say,” said Cooper after the game.
“I thought he was good against Reading and I know he was disappointed not to score with the chance he had, and the one the week before at Bristol City.
“I just told him, ‘they are coming mate, you just need the first one’.
“So, with him scoring tonight, hopefully, he will not think about that and move forward.
“I thought all the forward players were good. Borja [Baston] works so hard for the goals he scores, Yan Dhanda took his opportunity and Bersant Celina – like Andre – was a real threat all night.
“I was really pleased with us at the top of the pitch, we looked dangerous. Andre was a really good example of that.”
Andre Ayew has made eight appearances for Swansea City, scored three goals and assisted three times.
He returned to Liberty Stadium following a season-long loan at Turkish side Fenerbahce last season.
