Jordan Ayew delighted to end five-game goal drought against Brighton

Ghana and Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew capped another stellar performance in the Premier League over the weekend with a goal to end his goal-drought against Brighton on Saturday.

The 28-year old scored his seventh goal of the campaign to end his five-game goal drought in over a month as Crystal Palace recorded a 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

He last scored in a 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal on January 11.

Jordan Ayew described his winning goal against Brighton as ”huge” after it helped secure three points for Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The 70th-minute finish ensured a 1-0 victory which put his side up to 12th in the Premier League, on 36 points.

“It’s a huge goal because we wanted to win this game to get up 36 points which means we are not far from our [overall] target,” said the Ghana striker to BT Sport after the match.

“You have to congratulate the boys because Brighton gave us a good test but, overall, we deserved the win.”

Jordan is Palace’s top scorer this season with seven goals.
