Boro manager Woodgate has has reckoned City’s fearful attack and applauded their deadly attack of Brewster, Gallagher and Andre Ayew.
“They’ve got some exceptional players in Rhian Brewster, Conor Gallagher and Andre Ayew. We just couldn’t deal with them,” Woodgate was quoted as saying in Wales Online.
“It’s hard to explain that type of performance. It’s not nice to see. It was just the basics of the game at times. It wasn’t good enough.
“We won’t come up against a Brewster, an Ayew or a Conor Gallagher again. Them three up top, I thought they were absolutely outstanding.”
Andre Ayew has scored 13 goals in the Championship so far and is expected to register his 14th league goal of the season when Swansea City welcome Luton Town to the Liberty Stadium in Saturday early kickoff clash.
