The gritty Swansea City player ratings as no-nonsense star dominant, Chelsea man puts body on line and striker looks unstoppable

FREDDIE WOODMAN 8

Good save to deny Victor Adeboyejo in the first half and was otherwise comfortable. Stunning save to thwart Callum Brittain as he kept his 14th Championship clean sheet of the season.

KYLE NAUGHTON 7

Made his fair share of defensive interventions to ensure Woodman wasn't overly tested. Had a couple of efforts at the other end too.

BEN CABANGO - Star Man 8

Was dominant in the air and stuck to a no-nonsense approach given the poor condition of the pitch. Nodded home the opener for what was his third goal of the season. Fine display.

MARC GUEHI 8

A solid showing from the Chelsea loanee who had to be more direct than usual due to the bobbly pitch. Put his body on the line numerous times though.

CONNOR ROBERTS 8

Long throw-ins caused heaps of problems, and he got an assist for Cabango's opener. Another top shift from the Welshman.

KOREY SMITH 8

Some very important interventions and touches. Looked so confident in the second half and played his role in seeing out the game.

JAY FULTON 8

Another battling display from the central midfielder. Was tackling for fun at times and was so good in the air.

MATT GRIMES 8

Made numerous interceptions in the middle of the park to disrupt Barnsley attacks. Gave the Tykes precious little change and ensured Swansea saw out the game well. Top effort.

JAKE BIDWELL 7

Grew into the game after a slow start. A few decent crosses, but his defensive work was very impresive. Made so many clearances.

ANDRE AYEW 7

Some decent flashes as ever, but struggled to have an impact in the final third in the opening 45. Same after the restart in truth, although his nous remained useful.

JAMAL LOWE 8

Some decent moments in possession and often won his side territory. Took his goal - his seventh in as many games - so well. He looks unstoppable in front of goal at present.
