It was a match-winning performance from Swanseas Ghana international, a man with a reputation for rising to the occasion, having previously found the net against Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Theres no doubt that this was a huge win for the Swans in their relegation scrap, a victory that moved them up to 15th place in the table and put a four-point cushion between them and Newcastle United in 18th. Man-of-the-match Ayews strike in the 35th minute was his eighth in 21 matches this season, and his progress hasnt gone unnoticed. Sunderland have been linked with a £14-million move for the attacker, but the Swans appear determined to hold onto their top goalscorer. Its easy to see why they want to keep hold of him, with Ayew proving something of a talisman for the Swans this term, finding the net in four of their six league wins.
