Andre Ayew scored on his 100th appearance for Swansea City but it ended in a 2-1 defeat at home to Huddersfield Town in the English Championship Saturday.
The Swans had started the afternoon at Liberty Stadium the far sharper and brighter of the sides, but were punished for a defensive lapse when Harry Toffolo put the Terriers ahead on 23 minutes.
Huddersfield took the lead with their first attack of note, as a short corner let Juninho Bacuna get away a shot that Toffolo deflected beyond Woodman and into the net.
Swansea sought an immediate response, and a superb Gyokeres cross was turned wide by Christopher Schindler as Lowe waited to tap in.
The Swans got the equalizer after 33 minutes when Hamer fouled Smith after the midfielder had beaten him to Ayew’s cross.
And Ayew made no mistake from the spot as he sent the ball into the bottom right-hand corner for his second goal of the season and on his 100th Swansea appearance.
But Josh Koroma struck a second-half winner for Huddersfield.
Prior to Koroma’s 67th-minute goal, Ayew and Lowe had been unable to convert good chances, while the Swans also spurned opportunities during an opening half when they had been firmly on top.
The hosts had shown three changes from the win over Millwall as Freddie Woodman, Kyle Naughton and Viktor Gyokeres came into the side, with new signing Kasey Palmer on the bench.
Swansea City were left to rue their missed opportunities as their unbeaten start to the 2020/21 English Championship came to an end at the Liberty Stadium. They are on 10 points after five matches.
