Andre Ayew’s Swansea City will have no chance of playing in the English Premier League next season after losing 3-1 to Brentford in the return leg of the first round of the English Championship playoffs.

Last Sunday, the Swans recorded a 1-0 win at the Liberty Stadium in the first leg with Andre Ayew netting the goal for the side.

Today, Brentford hosted Swansea City at the Griffin Park for a crucial game to decide who advances into the final phase of the Championship playoffs.

Following a very good display in the early parts of the first half, two goals from Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Marcondes on the 11^th and 15^th minutes respectively ensured that the home team went into the break with a good lead.

In the second half, Brentford scored a 3^rd goal courtesy a strike from Bryan Mbeumo on the 46^th minute, giving Swansea City a mountain to climb.

The pulsating encounter that ensured in the remainder of the second half saw Swansea City grabbing a consolation goal on the 78^th minute through teenager Rhian Brewster.

With the match ending 3-1 at the end of the 90 minutes, Brentford is through to the final stage of the English Championship playoffs via a 3-2 aggregate result.

Andre Ayew finishes the season on a high despite his team's setback. He has scored 16 goals for Swansea City in this campaign and has 7 assists to his name as well.
