Championship: Swansea City Boss Lauds Andre Ayew's Performance Against Coventry City

Swansea City boss, Steve Cooper has expressed his satisfaction following Andre Ayew's performance against Coventry City.

The Ghana international scored to end the game 1:1 to help his side to earn a point on Tuesday night in the Skybet Championship.

Ayew netted a 41st-minute goal to draw his side level after Jordan Shipley gave the home side a 19th-minute lead.

The Swans came into the game on the back of a surprising 2-1 home loss to Huddersfield Town, a match in which the 30-year-old capped his 100th appearance for the Jack Army with their consolation goal.

“I was not overly pleased with the first-half performance. I felt we were second best with our work-rate and intensity and doing the non-negotiables of the game,” Cooper said, as reported by Swansea's official website.

“Truth be told I was happy it was 1-1 at half-time, with Andre getting us back in the game in the way he did.

“It was a little bit of a blessing, as when you’re not quite on our game, you have to ensure you stay in the game."

“We made a tactical change, I felt we needed an extra body in midfield and there wasn’t as much space as we wanted or planned for Andre in the number 10 position," Cooper added.

“I felt it worked for 25 minutes, we had the momentum but for some reason, we gave that up and - before you know it - we are too deep. We are dealing with shots and crosses in our box.

“So, I’m not overly happy with the performance, but I’m happy we stayed in the game and that we did not get beat, as a performance like that means you have to show other sides of your game.

“But the way the game went, I’m not too disappointed with a point.”

Swansea occupy fifth position on the Championship table ahead of Saturday's away tie against Bristol City.
