The 2017-18 campaign delivered ultimate heartbreak for Swansea City as the Swans, despite the mid-season arrival of manager Carlos Carvalhal, finished a crushing 18th in the Premier League, ending their seven-year stay in the top flight. Leading the line was the determined Jordan Ayew, whose 7 league goals proved vital in a desperate battle that also saw Tammy Abraham contribute five goals to the attack. The year was defined by the drama of a final-day relegation, sealed with a home loss to already-relegated Stoke City, marking an unforgettable, turbulent chapter in the club's modern history.
