Ayew had earlier had seen his penalty saved just past the hour mark before Brentford had Rico Henry sent off.Swansea then swarmed all over Brentford seeking a crucial lead to take into the second leg next week and got it when Ayew fired into the top corner after an intricate build-up. Brentford, who have not been in the top flight since 1947, missed out on automatic promotion on Wednesday when they lost at home to Barnsley, meaning West Bromwich Albion finished runners-up behind Leeds United.
Swansea crept into the playoffs after a remarkable final round of fixtures in which they beat Reading 4-1 and jumped above Nottingham Forest, who lost 4-1, on goal difference. Promotion to the Premier league is worth an estimated 170 million pounds. Cardiff City take on Fulham in the other semi-final.
