Swansea City boss Steve Cooper has hailed Andre Ayew's performance in their 1-1 draw against Coventry City on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old pulled the club out of defeat after scoring in the stalemate in the Championship.

And Swansea manager is delighted with the overall performance of the Ghanaian for the Jack Army side.

“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."

He added: “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."
