Andre Ayew put Liam Cullem through to score Swansea City’s third goal and aided them in their bid to secure Championship play-offs since they needed more goals to gazump Nottingham Forest on goal difference.

To secure a top-six spot, the Swans needed to win and hope that either Cardiff City would lose at home to bottom side Hull or that Forest would be beaten by Stoke, with a five-goal turnaround in Swansea's favour.

Mission improbable was on in the first half at the Madejski Stadium as Liverpool loanee Rhian Brewster struck with a 30-yard thunderbolt, moments before Forest fell behind.
