Before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ghana’s Jordan Ayew was proving himself to be a certified matchwinner for his club Crystal Palace.
Ayew had scored the match-winning goal for the Eagles five times this season. He also chipped in with equalisers in the two draws against Arsenal.
He also scored Palace’s opener at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
With football across Europe on hiatus and a return date still unknown for the Premier League, Palace took the opportunity to praise Jordan for his top performances this season.
The club posted a video on Twitter with the caption: “Jordan Ayew, scorer of big goals.”
The one-minute video (which can be seen at the end of the story) has been very well received by Palace fans, some of home jokingly called for a statue to be built in his honour.
Quality player
