Ghana and Swansea City forward Andre Ayew featured for his side as they lost at home to Derby County in the English Championship on Saturday.

The Swans suffered their 10th league defeat at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday as they gradually fell further away from the promotion places.

The result leaves them on 9th on the league with 46 points, four points away from the final promotion play-off spot.

Martyn Waghorn gave Derby County an early lead in the 8th minute of the game.

Swansea rallied back courtesy Yan Dhanda and Kyle Naughton strikes but Derby equalised and scored the match winner through Duane Holmes and Tom Lawrence respectively.

The 30-year-old Ghanaian put an up impressive display as he produced two shots (off-target), 51 touches and 31 accurate passes (81.6%).

Swansea City will face Queen Park Rangers on Tuesday in their next league fixture as they look to bounce back to winning ways.
