The Swansea City player ratings as midfield ace and Freddie Woodman impress but duo struggle at Bristol City

This is how the Swansea City players rated in the 0-0 draw with Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

Freddie Woodman 8

Barely tested in the first half but did the basics really well. More of the same after the restart and was alert to deny Famara Diedhiou from a header. Such an assured display.

Kyle Naughton 8

Making his first league start of the season, the right-back impressed in defence and made a vital intervention to rob Famara Diedhiou of possession just before the break as the striker threatened. Very solid on his return.

Mike van der Hoorn 7

Generally looked fine but was a little casual at times. Headed over in the second half but impressed in his own box.

Joe Rodon 8

Fine tackle to stop Josh Brownhill in his tracks early on and was typically slick in possession. Unlucky not to guide a header on target in the second half.

Jake Bidwell 7

Threw his body on the line to block Jack Hunt's shot and bombed up and down the left flank. Impressive display but was shown a straight red card at the death.

Jay Fulton - Star Man 8

Impressive display from the Scot who had an influence high up the pitch on numerous occasions. Involved in attack and defence which helped Swansea get on top in the second half.

Matt Grimes 7

Booked for a poor foul on Josh Brownhill and went close with a free-kick just before the break.

Andre Ayew 7

Typically busy on the right of the trio behind Borja Baston and grew in confidence after the restart. Had two big chances, one with a header and the other a one on one, but couldn't bulge the net.

George Byers 7

Worked tremendously hard in the middle on his return to the starting XI.   Subbed late on.

Bersant Celina 6

Back on the left hand side, Celina had the beating of Hunt and Taylor Moore at times, but could find that killer end product. Cut a frustrated figure late on aswell as his efforts went unrewarded.

Borja Baston 6

Worked hard but to no avail in truth.

SUBS

Sam Surridge (for Borja) - Chased everything and worked hard. 6

Connor Roberts (for Byers) - Sent on to run the clock down. N/A
