The gutting Swansea City player ratings as late Blackburn equaliser takes shine off impressive showings

FREDDIE WOODMAN 7

Didn't react quickly enough as Sam Gallagher put Blackburn ahead. Did the business to deny Danny Graham from the penalty spot though.

KYLE NAUGHTON 7

Did all of the basics well as always. You know what you're getting from the experienced full-back.

BEN CABANGO 7

Somewhat sloppy for the opening goal, but was otherwise impressive once again alongside Joe Rodon.

JOE RODON 7

Did everything you now come to expect from him. Solid in the air, comfortable on the ball. Gave the penalty away, but was bailed out by Woodman.

JAKE BIDWELL 7

An impressive showing from the left-back who was more than comfortable defensively and gave plenty of support in attack too.

JAY FULTON 7

A top shift from the central midfielder who broke down so many Blackburn moves. Important shift defensively.

MATT GRIMES 7

Often found himself with time on the ball, and the captain was a busy figure in the centre of the park. So much good work that will have gone unnoticed by many.

JORDON GARRICK 6

On his first ever league start for the Swans, the winger was booked early on. Probably didn't have the impact he'd have hoped for.

CONOR GALLAGHER 7

Got into dangerous positions but was far too wasteful in the opening half. However, got his fifth assist for Swansea as Rhian Brewster struck the equaliser. So much better in the second half and pulled the strings.

ANDRE AYEW 7

Very lively in the first half and was Swansea's biggest threat. Beaten too easily by Ryan Nyambe in the build-up to Blackburn's opener though. Did so much further up the pitch in the second half and scored his 14th goal of the season from the spot.

RHIAN BREWSTER 7

Missed a golden opportunity in the first half but made amends soon after with a stunning finish to level proceedings before the break. Another big shift.

Subs

Connor Roberts (for Garrick) - Energy gave Swansea a bit of a lift but didn't really have a major impact late on. 6

Ben Wilmot (for Gallagher) - Too late to make an impact. N/A
