Jordan Ayew equals best Premier League scoring season with Crystal Palace’s winner at Brighton

Jordan Ayew is having arguably his best season ever in the Premier League.

The Ghanaian striker has seven goals so far this season for Crystal Palace, scoring the seventh in the Eagles’ 1-0 win at Brighton on Saturday.

With ten matches still to go for Palace, Jordan has equalled his best-ever goalscoring tally in the English top-flight and could finally surpass the tally.

The forward has scored seven goals in the Premier League twice before – for Aston Villa and for Swansea.

He scored seven goals in his first season in the Premier League with Villa before netting once in the 2016-17 season while at Swansea.

The next season he scored seven more for the Welsh club.

He earned a loan move to Palace after Swansea went down to the Championship but endured a difficult goalscoring season, finding the net just once in 20 appearances.

However, this season he has already scored seven times in 27 starts including today’s winner.

He has already scored home and away against both Arsenal and West Ham and at Old Trafford against Manchester United as well.
