• Dede Ayew striking the winning goal for Swansea

Magical Dede powers Swans: From relegation zone

Swansea recorded their first ever league win over Everton as they hung on to record a 2-1 success in Francesco Guidolin's first game as manager, thanks to Andre Dede Ayew, who was instrumental in both goals by the Swans.

The visitors went in front through Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty after Tim Howard brought down Andre Ayew following John Stones' weak backpass.

Gareth Barry's deflected flick made it 1-1 just eight minutes later but Ayew restored the advantage with an effort which looped in over Howard off Stones.

 

The hosts dominated the second half and a glaring injury-time miss from Seamus Coleman summed up their day as Swansea moved up to 15th in the Premier League table.

As well as a priceless three points for the new head coach, the result gives the team he has inherited back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Swansea arrived on Merseyside with a win against their opponents in the Capital One Cup last season their only victory in 24 previous meetings. Skysports
