Ghana international Andre Ayew admits that he finds the game in England different from that in France.

He'd been in the Ligue 1 playing his club football for eight years before making a switch to English Premier League club Swansea City this summer.

Even then the attacking midfielder imposed himself on his competitive league debut game against English champions Chelsea on Saturday, crowning his efforts with a stunning goal in the first half of the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

"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," Ayew said after the game.

"Bafe[timbi Gomis] 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."

He added: "It was my first game in the Premier League and I'm always learning. The intensity is different and I have to work hard to get better and better week-in week-out for the team.

"But my team-mates, the manager and the coaches are all pushing me so that I can do more and more for the team."

History boys

Andre played all game for Swansea as his younger brother, Jordan, got just under an hour for new club Aston Villa.

They became the first set of brothers to make their debuts in the English Premier League on the same day, since its inception in 1992.

Villa and Jordan won 1-0 away at Bournemouth.
