The mixed Swansea City player ratings as two attackers struggle but Andre Ayew changes game against Sheffield Wednesday

FREDDIE WOODMAN 6

A decent stop to deny Julian Borner but was helpless as Adam Reach bulged the net.

BEN CABANGO 6

Got away with a poor clearance for Borner's effort and was booked soon after. Solid after those nervy moments though.

RYAN BENNETT 7

The pick of the bunch at the back for Swansea. Coped well with Wednesday's aerial threat and did the basics well.

KYLE NAUGHTON 5

Looked to have lost his man for Wednesday's opener. Hooked at the interval.

CONNOR ROBERTS 6

Very quiet in the opening half but improved after the restart, despite dropping into a back four.

KOREY SMITH 6

Decent enough in the middle. Offered more in the second half after a quiet first half.

MATT GRIMES 6

Sloppy in possession on numerous occasions which certainly didn't help his side's cause. Better in the second half though.

JAKE BIDWELL 6

Far from his rampaging best, but often lacked support high up the pitch. Subbed in the second half.

YAN DHANDA 6

Looked to get Swansea going, but to no avail in the first half. Always looked lively though and fired just wide in the second half.

LIAM CULLEN 5

Found the going tough against a physical Sheffield Wednesday side. To his credit, he battled well, but couldn't offer a threat. Replaced.

JAMAL LOWE 5

Offered precious little in the first half until he had a shot blocked in injury time. Decent chance missed in the second half too before being subbed.

Subs

Andre Ayew (for Cullen) - Completely changed the game and produced a moment of genius to level proceedings. - Star Man 7

Kasey Palmer (for Naughton) - Helped Swansea improve in the final third. 6

Ryan Manning (for Bidwell) - Vital intervention in his own box moments after coming on. 6

Wayne Routledge (for Lowe) - Helped Swansea carry a threat on the right wing. 6
