The Swans returned to winning ways as they handed the Reds their first defeat in four league outings in the English Championship.
Nigeria’s Victor Adeboyejo scored an own goal as Clarke Oduor’s Barnsley bowed to a 2-0 loss against Andre Ayew’s Swansea City on Saturday.
Jamal Lowe gave Swansea City an early lead at the Liberty Stadium with his opener in the second minute.
In the second half, substitute Adeboyejo put the ball into the back of his own net to hand the home side all three points.
Ayew who was making his 19th appearance in the second division on Saturday, was in top form from start to finish but could not increase his tally of seven goals so far this season.
Ayew, who played full 90 minutes for the Jack Army, expressed his delight over the victory at home.
“3 points! Strong performance. we keep moving. YJB”, he wrote on his social media handle.
