Ghana defender Baba Rahman in action as Reading beat Swansea City
Ghana left-back Baba Rahman featured for Reading in their 2-1 win over Swansea City in the English Championship.
Rahman climbed off the bench in the 65th minute to replace Yakou Meite as he helped his side move level on points with the Championship play-off places.
Andy Carroll put the Royals ahead in a first half in which they also missed a penalty as Yakou Meite blasted way over.
The Swans played themselves into trouble after the break, with goalkeeper Steven Benda's misplaced pass falling to Tom Ince, whose deflected shot doubled Reading's lead.
Substitute Liam Cullen scored on the rebound to raise hopes of yet another Swansea comeback but the visitors' late attempts to salvage a point were in vain.
The win lifts Reading to eighth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Norwich City and short of the top six on goal difference alone.
Rahman represented Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, featuring in all the games as Black Stars exited the group stage after finishing bottom of their group.
He has made 13 league appearances for Reading this season.
