Leicester City striker, Jordan Ayew has pledged they will keep striving for improvement following their thrilling 3-2 comeback victory against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
After the match, Ayew praised his teammates and emphasized their commitment to continual progress.
“I was quite positive after we got the first goal,” the Ghana international told the club website. “I was positive that we could come back and why not win the game? And that’s what happened. We let ourselves down a little bit in the first half and it’s the game, that’s part of it.”
He acknowledged that while the team is not yet perfect and has areas to work on, their primary goal remains winning.
“We’re not perfect, we’re still working on a lot of things but the most important thing is that we go to win, and we managed to find a way today to win, and that’s positive, that’s a good sign as well.”
Ayew also recognized the challenges that lie ahead this season but highlighted the hard work being put into training.
“We know the season is going to be difficult, but we’re working hard in training and we’re gaining the rewards and with time hopefully we will improve. We will get better and better and it will be positive for us,” he added.”
The match saw Southampton take an early lead, with Cameron Archer scoring in the eighth minute, followed by Joe Aribo doubling the advantage 20 minutes later.
However, Leicester staged a remarkable comeback, with Facundo Buonanotte pulling one back in the 64th minute.
Ryan Fraser received a red card and conceded a penalty, which Jamie Vardy converted. Ayew capped the comeback with a low shot into the bottom corner in the eighth minute of stoppage time, securing Leicester’s second consecutive win.
As Leicester prepares to face Nottingham Forest at the King Power Stadium on Friday night, Ayew will be eager to maintain his spot in the starting lineup.
