Swansea City ended a six-match winless run as Ghanaian international Andre Ayew scored two goals to help them beat nine-man Middlesbrough.
The 29-year old's first-half penalty put the hosts in front before Marcus Tavernier equalised after the break with a powerful effort.

But just three minutes later Boro were down to 10 men when substitute Marcus Browne was sent off for a lunge on Mike van der Hoorn.

Ayew then restored the Swans' lead and Sam Surridge added a third before Paddy McNair saw red for a late elbow on Matt Grimes.

A fractious end to the second half undermined Boro's hopes of salvaging anything from this encounter and, after a draw and a win from their previous two matches, this result keeps them 20th in the Championship table and now only three points clear of the relegation zone.

Swansea, by contrast, move up one place to 10th and are now just one point adrift of the play-off spots.
