Ghana international, Jordan Ayew, has finally scored his first goal after a 43-game drought for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Before the game, the former Aston Villa and Swansea City forward had scored only one league goal in the past 13 months, last finding the back of the net for Crystal Palace in November 2020 against Leeds United.
The 30-year-old arrived at the back post to finish from a tight angle to draw the Eagles level with Southampton at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.
