Aston Villa lost 2-1 to Swansea at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday to increase the pressure on manager Tim Sherwood.

Villa had taken the lead in the 62nd minute when striker Jordan Ayew scored his first goal for the club with a diving header. That came just a minute after his brother, Andre Ayew of Swansea, was denied by United States goalkeeper Brad Guzan at the other end.

But Gylfi Sigurdsson equalized for Swansea six minutes later, whipping a free kick beyond Guzan from 30 yards, after he was fouled by Villa captain Micah Richards.

And Swansea got the winner when Andre Ayew prodded in Kyle Naughton's cross in the 87th.

Villa manager Sherwood has not won a league game since the opening day of the season against Bournemouth.
