Ghana star Andre Ayew endures difficult match as Everton hold Swansea
Andre Ayew was left with blood all over his face in the Swansea match

Ghana winger Andre Ayew was left bloodied, received a yellow card and substituted as his Swansea City side endured a difficult game in their 0-0 draw with and Everton on Saturday.

The Toffees emerged with a point apiece from the goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium but the match will stay on the mind of Swansea's Ghanaian star for a long time because of the toughness of the visitors.

Ayew received some treatment after he was left bloodied following a collision with Everton midfielder Jagielka during the match.

The Ghanaian also received a yellow card before he was substituted three minutes before the end of the match, summing up a difficult match for the Swans who rely heavily on the son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele.

Everton had the better of a dull first half, although Swansea's Bafitimbi Gomis came closest to scoring when skewing wide of Tim Howard's goal.

Both teams improved after the break but Romelu Lukaku missed the best of Everton's chances.

Kevin Mirallas was sent off in the last minute, 90 seconds after coming on as a substitute, for a studs-up challenge.

The dismissal came too late to help Swansea, who had defended well to repel numerous Everton attacks in the final quarter of the game.
