Crystal Palace picked up their third consecutive 1-0 win in the Premier League on Saturday after putting Watford to the sword and Jordan Ayew was once again the hero. The 28-year-old started alongside Christian Benteke in attack and scored the winning goal to earn the Eagles all three points.
Ayew has popped up with important goals of late, having a hand in both goals when Palace beat West Ham United (December 26, 2019) 2-1, scoring the equaliser in the Eagles’ 1-1 draw with Arsenal (January 11, 2020) and notching the winner in their 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion (February 29).
Doing brilliant this season, great player! Keep up the good work. ❤️💙 Easily the best signing of the season from anyone in the Prem. Bargain!
