Jordan Ayew has etched his name into the history books after he became the first Ghanaian to directly contribute 50 Premier League goals following his sublime goal against West Ham on Saturday.
Additionally, Jordan’s international teammates Jeffrey Schlupp also got his name on the score sheet to augment Crystal Palace’s survival quest in the 2022/23 premier league. The game’s equalizer was scored by Jordan in the 15th minute at Selhurst Park after the Hammers had grabbed an early lead.
He has also scored three goals in his last five games for the club after only doing so once in his previous 29. The attacker sprinted after receiving a feed from Michael Olise before beating the West Ham goalie with his effort.
Five minutes later, Wilfried Zaha gave Palace the lead, and Schlupp made it 3-1 to give the Eagles a commanding lead in the match. West Ham attempted a late comeback, but they were unable to gain anything from the game as Palace won 4-3 at home.
