Watch Andre Ayew's late penalty for Swansea City against Stoke City

Published on: 04 March 2021

Ghana skipper Andre Ayew scored a late penalty in their 2-1 away victory for Swansea City over Stoke City in the Championship on Wednesday.

Ayew's 90th-minute effort proved the decisive factor in the matchday 34 away fixture at Bet365 Stadium.

The three points consolidate the promotion play-off spot of fourth-placed Swansea, who have two games in hand and sit 11 points below

The Swans had lost two of their previous three games ahead of the trip to the Potteries, and fell behind early on as Nick Powell netted for the hosts.

But Steve Cooper’s side took the setback in their stride and worked their way back into the game with Roberts’ fourth goal of the season; the wing-back finishing superbly from a lovely Ryan Manning cross in the 19th minute.

The visitors pressed in search of a winner during the closing stages, and got the rewards for their positivity when Kyle Naughton was fouled in the box, and Andre Ayew kept his nerve to score from the penalty spot with almost the final kick of the game.

Ayew has taken his goals tally to 11 for the season, having featured in 32 matches and started in all but one of the games.
