Ayew capped a classy performance with his first Premier League goal at Stamford Bridge before Bafetimbi Gomis earned the Swans a point from the penalty spot after Chelsea were reduced to 10 men.

A home clash with the Magpies is Swansea's next test, a match Garry Monk's men approach buoyed by such an impressive display in west London.

"They are the champions with a great squad, but we managed to get a great result," he told the club's official website. "I was very happy with my goal, particularly as the squad has really helped me out. Hopefully I will continue working hard to help the team.

"Bafe had a good header saved, and then I had my first shot blocked. But I got up quickly and managed to score with the second shot. It was a really great moment for myself and, more importantly, the team.

"We must keep the spirit we have. We showed a lot of character. This is only the beginning for us
