Andre Ayew scored from the penalty spot to make it two goals in three Championship games as Swansea City were held at Blackburn Rovers.
The Swans lost in midweek at Fulham and coming up against the side directly above them on the log was never going to be any easier.
Sam Gallagher put Rovers in front in the 25th minute before Rhian Brewster equaliser for the visitors on the stroke of half-time.
Ayew made it 2-1 to Swansea from the penalty spot just two minutes after the restart, with Anglo-Nigerian defender Tosin Adarabioyo bringing down Jordon Garrick in the box.
Blackburn had the chance to draw level from the spot 11 minutes later, but Danny Graham's effort was saved by Frederick Woodman.
Their moment came deep in stoppage time, Bradley Johnson firing from outside the area, thanks to Adarabioyo playing the ball into his path.
Ayew completed 90 minutes on the pitch for the 16th consecutive Championship game, producing a total of two shots, 47 touches and 23 accurate passes (74.2%).
Swansea remain in ninth place and host leaders West Bromwich Albion next Saturday.
