Andre Ayew in thick affairs as Swansea City began campaign on front foot

Black Stars skipper, Andre Ayew was in the helm of affairs as Swansea City defeated Preston North End 1-0 on Saturday.

The forward put up a dominate display in the game that saw the Wales side began the championship league campaign on a winning note.

Despite having an earlier assist disallowed for an offside, the Ghanaian international was on hand again, but this time with a pre-assist as Morgan Gibbs scored the only goal that separated the two clubs in the league opener.

A terrific diagonal ball from the Ghanaian was grabbed by Bidwell who sent in a good cross to Morgan Gibbs for the opener.

Andre Ayew completed the most passes (38) and most dribbles (2) and also won the second-highest for in aerial duels (5) for the visitors.

The win means Swansea City are 8th on the league log as they began another chase for top-flight football.

The 30-year-old former Marseille forward has a year left to run on his current deal with reports continuing to link him with a move away from the Championship side.
