Andre Ayew was on the losing side as Swansea City were defeated 1-0 by Fulham in the Championship on Wednesday night.

The Swans came into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town last weekend, with Ayew netting in the game.

It was the first time in more than a month the South Wales outfit won and also the match in which the Ghana international last scored.

Aleksandar Mitrovic scored the game's only goal deep in stoppage time, having missed a penalty moments earlier.

Ayew played for the 90 minutes and was given a yellow card for arguing with the referee over the decision to award Fulham a penalty.

The 30-year-old had a total of two shots and won two of his three dribbles.

On the defensive front, Ayew made an impressive seven clearances.

Swansea remain in ninth place and five points away from the promotion playoff places after Brentford and Preston North End failed to win their respective games against Luton Town and Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
