Manchester United transfer target Bafetimbi Gomis sunk Louis van Gaal's
team with his ninth goal in 10 English Premier League matches as
Swansea won 2-1 at its Liberty Stadium Sunday.
United
took the lead through Juan Mata just after the halftime break, but was
stunned by goals from Andre Ayew and Gomis to slip to a first league
defeat of the season.
The Red Devils were hoping
to move into second spot behind city rival Manchester City with a win
and all looked well when Mata connected with a Luke Shaw cross to put
the visitors ahead.
Swansea defender Ashley Williams was at fault as he hesitated for the goal but he was to redeem himself almost immediately.
He
intercepted a sloppy pass from Wayne Rooney and charged forward before
finding Gylfi Sigurdsson, whose cross was well met by Ayew to equalize.
