Swansea City vice-captain Andre Ayew has described home victory over Middlesbrough as important after a series of poor results left the fans disappointed.
The Swans won the encounter on Saturday 3-1 thanks to a brace from the Ghanaian.
The win ended Swans six-match winless run. It was the second home win since the end of August, and Ayew was delighted to put that the wait for a Liberty victory to bed.
“We know it’s important to win in front of our great fans. They love the club with all their hearts and always come in their numbers – whether things are going well or not," Ayew said in a post-match interview.
“They have been disappointed with how results have gone lately because we haven’t got good results but, for me, that’s normal when they see the quality of players that we have.
“So to get the victory is good. I hope it’s the beginning of a series.”
Ayew has scored seven goals and assisted four in 20 appearances for Swansea this season.
