“I’m pleased to score against Arsenal” – Crystal Palace and Ghana striker Jordan Ayew

Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew is pleased to score in their 3-0 win over against Arsenal in the English Premier League on Monday night.

Ayew despite losing his starting position in the Eagles team before the last international break remained committed and continually fought whenever he was called upon by his manager.

The 30-year-old netted in the 24th minute of game as he got away from two Arsenal defenders and bent a shot beyond Aaron Ramsdale.

‘It’s a lovely pass [from Joachim Andersen],” Ayew told Palace TV+. “Obviously it’s on my left foot – people give me stick about my left foot, but today I think I showed them that I have a good left foot.”

“I just slotted it in. I’m very happy, and I hope it’s not the last goal I score. I hope there is more to come in the next few games.

He added, “I’m pleased. As soon as I came back from AFCON, I didn’t really have game time, and today I had my opportunity so I’m happy to have taken it and happy to score as well.”

“It has not been easy but we keep on pushing and working, and we’re happy it paid off.”

Ayew has scored two goals and registered three assists in 27 leagues games for Crystal Palace this season.
