Leeds fans rave about £18m attacker’s Sunday display, some want Bielsa reunion
Andre Ayew proved to be the difference on Sunday evening as Swansea took a giant leap towards the Championship play-off final with a 1-0 win over Brentford – and Leeds United fans were impressed with his performance.
Referee Keith Stroud had his work cut out as Swansea looked like a team with all the momentum against a worried Brentford side. Rhian Brewster missed numerous chances before eventually winning a penalty for the Swans.
Ayew, 30, stepped up – after Pontus Jansson had tripped Liverpool loanee Brewster – but David Raya made a big one-handed save to keep the Bees in the game. Stroud then made a somewhat surprising decision to show a red card.
Rico Henry’s tackle seemed as though the left-back had won the ball, but the Brentford number three was shown a red card. It gave Swansea the impetus and with less than 10 minutes to go, Ayew made up for his penalty miss.
He lashed home a bouncing ball from 16 yards out into the top corner of Raya’s goal, netting his 18th of the season. Back in December, that Leeds wanted Ayew.
The £18million () Swansea man worked under Marcelo Bielsa at Marseille before moving to these shores with Swansea, in what was his first spell with the Welsh side – separated by a brief spell at West Ham.
Leeds fans reacted to his display amid rumours Leeds could look to form a reunion at Elland Road between Bielsa and the Ghana attacker – and many were impressed with Ayew, while some urged their club to sign him.
I’d love Ayew at Leeds.
Just so that when he scored a banger I could tweet ‘Ayew ever seen a better goal?’

Penalty miss aside.. AYEW is some player. Would look very good in our team. Bielsa likes him too.
