    Jordan Ayew

    What a bit of action. Bafetimbi Gomis plays in an unmarked Andre Ayew and he has a shot smothered by the on-rushing Villa keeper Brad Guzan. The home side counter-attack from a corner and go up the other end to score with Jordan Ayew stooping to head in a Gabriel Agbonlahor cross.

    More intent from Villa. Leandro Bacuna gets past Swansea left-back Neil Taylor and fizzes a ball across the visitors' six-yard line but none of his team-mates can get on the end of it.
