Ghana forward Andre Ayew says his recent goal drought at Swansea City did not weigh on his mind.
The Black Stars captain scored in the Swans’ impressive 2-0 victory over Championship leaders Norwich City on Friday, February 5 to end a six-game goalless streak that stretched right back to their 2-0 win at QPR in December.
According to Ayew, he stayed relax focusing more on his contribution to team success beyond scoring.
“As someone who plays up front, it is important to get goals for the team but it (the dry spell) was not something that disturbed me much.
“I was playing well and I was making the team score goals in different goals with my movements etc.
“Of course, I always want to score and that is for sure but I think what is important is the team and what I can do to make the team get more goals. It can be through my movements, assists for my teammates – that is what is important.
“I am happy to get the goal though but what is important is the team and in that spell, we showed that we could not rely on a few players for goals. Everyone had to chip in with goals and we are solid at the moment,” he told Swans TV.
The goal was Andre Ayew’s 9th in 26 league appearances this season.
Swansea City are currently 3rd on the Championship table behind Norwich and Brentford.
