Ghana international, Jordan Ayew proved his value for Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon when he provided the assist for the team’s winning goal in the 2-1 comeback win against Leicester City.

With the 2022/23 English Premier League heading for its conclusive end, clubs are scrambling for wins to either finish high on the league table or avoid relegation.

Today at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace hosted Leicester City in the Round 29 encounter of the campaign.

While Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp would start the game for the Eagles, Jordan Ayew was left on the substitute’s bench.

In the fierce first-half contest that ensued between the two teams, the Black Stars striker was introduced in injury time to replace winger Wilfried Zaha after he picked an injury.

After recess, Jordan Ayew and his teammates put up a spirited performance in a bid to earn all the points.

However, Leicester City took the lead in the 56th minute thanks to a strike from Ricardo Pereira.

Three minutes later, an own goal from Daniel Iverson restored parity to the game before the creative ability of Jordan Ayew settled the game in added time.

The striker set up his attacking partner Jean-Philippe Mateta with a fine pass for him to equalise to seal a 2-1 win for Crystal Palace.

With his impressive performance today, Jordan Ayew finished the game with a rating of 7.3.

The experienced attacker has agreed to a one-year contract extension deal to continue playing for Crystal Palace.

As a result, he will be part of the squad of the Eagles next season for another campaign in the English Premier League if the side avoids relegation.
