That's a wrap for our live coverage of Swansea's first-leg win over Brentford in their Championship play-off semi-final.

And what an eventful match it was

Those two sides will lock horns again for the second leg at Griffin Park on Wednesday.

Before then, tomorrow night we'll bring you live coverage of the other semi-final first leg, where Cardiff City will host Fulham.

We hope you can join us for that one and, until then, stay safe and take care.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Brentford head coach Thomas Frank said: "We’re playing two games for promotion to the Premier League and £170m.

"People need to be really sure when they make decisions.

"I can’t understand why we can’t have VAR in these games. It was absolutely not a red card."

Speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper said: "It was a tough game, eventful game.

"I don't think both teams quite got going but both created good chances.

"I'm pleased with tonight, it's a small advantage but it is only an advantage if we use it well.

"Andre brushed off the disappointment of the penalty and didn't let that affect him, but that's what he does, step up in the big moments."

Speaking to Sky Sports, goalscorer Andre Ayew said: "We need to get into the final first, I am only focused on that.

"It's good to come out here and get the goal but it is just the first half, the second half is in three days so we need to get ready for that.

"This club means a lot to me, they gave me the chance to play in the Premier League and we still have a great bond."

Andre Ayew's thumping half-volley is enough for Swansea City as they seize the initiative against 10-man Brentford.

Swansea got their reward, it was disappointing from Ayew not to score the penalty but to bounce back with a brilliant volley has just put them ahead.

Now they've got to go to Griffin Park, it is far from over.

That's it for a dramatic first leg of this Championship play-off semi-final.

Andre Ayew could easily have proved the villain after having his penalty saved by David Raya - but he proved to be Swansea's hero with his superb winning goal.

Brentford, meanwhile, will feel aggrieved to have had Rico Henry sent off during an eventful second half.

It's all set up for a fascinating second leg at Griffin Park on Wednesday night.

There will be four minutes of stoppage time.

A chance for yet more drama?

After a frantic few minutes after Swansea took the lead, where it looked like the hosts wanted to add to their lead, the game has slowed down considerably.

Are Brentford content to keep it at 1-0 seeing as they're down to 10 men, or do they believe they can salvage a draw?

Meanwhile, Bees midfielder Christian Norgaard is booked for a foul on Matt Grimes.

Miss a penalty, who cares? What a goal from a team perspective and what individual talent from Andre Ayew.

He smashes it on the volley, top corner, keeper no chance.

Andre Ayew is in his element at the moment.

Everything Swansea do is going through the Ghana forward, who is linking play brilliantly.

That penalty miss feels like a long time ago now.

Two more changes for Brentford as they aim to salvage something from this game.

Danger man Said Benrahma goes off, as does Mathias Jensen.

On in their places come Shandon Baptiste and Joel Valencia.

Swansea captain Matt Grimes tries his luck from 30 yards but it flies over the bar.

Swansea are pressing for that elusive goal, and Brentford are defending deeper and deeper as time ticks away.

It's another yellow card, this time for Swansea's Rhian Brewster for allegedly diving around a challenge from the sliding Brentford keeper David Raya.

Conor Gallagher is the first to fall in the Brentford box, then Brewster follows up and goes round Raya but then falls to the ground and is booked by referee Keith Stroud.

Was that the right call? Hard to tell at first glance.

Swansea have a little more than a quarter of an hour left to find a winner.

They won't get very far with shooting like that from Marc Guehi, the defender on loan from Chelsea, who blasts his 30-yard effort miles over the bar.
