Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew scored his first Premier League goal for Swansea City as they defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-1 in the final match-day on Sunday afternoon.

Ayew, signed in January from Championship side Aston Villa, nodded home Llorente's header across goal to restore parity for the Swans after Johnny Evans had given the away side the lead before the Spanish striker Fernando Llorente struck a stunning winner with four minutes left on the clock.

Evans nodded home from a corner to score just Albion's seventh goal in their last 12 outings, of which they have now won only one due to City's impressive fightback.

Only an impressive challenge from skipper Leon Britton early in the second half denied Rondon a strike on goal, but Swansea created an opportunity of their own which Federico Fernandez failed to take by heading wide from a good position.

Swansea were on level terms with a quarter of the match left to play, though, thanks to Ayew's first goal for the club from a close-range header.

Ayew came close to a second when rifling into the side-netting, but the home side did find a winner through star striker Llorente, who belted home from Luciano Narsingh's accurate delivery.
