Swansea's 10 men defended heroically to frustrate relegation rivals Huddersfield in a goalless stalemate at the John Smith's Stadium.

Ayew, who's been highly-influential for the Swans in recent weeks, felt aggrieved because the Huddersfield midfielder was just as committed as him, but his boot was high, and the decision was an understandable one.

That could lead to the former Sheffield Wednesday manager naming the same Swansea starting XI that thrashed West Ham United 4-1 last weekend, which would see the Ayew brothers united up front once again.

But the away side managed to withstand a barrage of attacks from Huddersfield to emerge from this Premier League clash with a well-earned point.

Steve Mounie was off target with a shot from 12 yards as the Terriers began to assert themselves in this tie.

A day after Jordan Ayew was rewarded by Swansea for his decent form in February, the Ghana worldwide was sent off in a league match at the John Smith's stadium.

Despite the man advantage, the home side was rarely threatened.

Normal service was soon resumed, and Mounie fired into the side-netting following a swift break forward ahead of an excellent save from Fabianski to tip a Mounie volley onto the bar.

Huddersfield went the closest all game to breaking the deadlock in stoppage time as Tom Ince rose highest inside the box and headed the ball onto the post past a beaten Fabiański; an excruciating end to a frustrating day for David Wagner's men.

Mooy has missed the last three games due to an infected cut on a knee and coach David Wagner left little doubt as to the impact he thinks the Australia worldwide can have on his side's relegation battle.
