The Black Stars attacker has been adjudged as Man of the Match after putting up an impressive display in Crystal Palace victory over Burnley.
Crystal Palace produced a performance to savour in new manager Oliver Glasner’s first game in charge – you’ve voted Jordan Ayew as your Grilla Player of the Match from the 3-0 win!
Ayew made it ten goal contributions (four goals, six assists) for the season with a pinpoint assist and a well-taken goal against the Clarets on Saturday afternoon.
Ayew’s pinpoint cross after 68 minutes set up Chris Richards for a diving header – his first goal for the club – before the Palace No. 9 latched onto the end of Matheus França’s low cross to double the Eagles’ lead moments later.
It was a win Glasner’s Palace were full value for, having been on top throughout the 90 minutes, even before Josh Brownhill saw red for the visitors after 35 minutes.
Ayew was a ubiquitous presence throughout, recording an impressive match-high five key passes (leading to shots) and three successful dribbles, as well as winning the most fouls (three) and attempting and completing the most crosses of any player on the pitch (seven from 14 attempts).
As a result, Ayew won 31% of your votes, with numerous other contenders also polling highly, including right wing-back Daniel Muñoz (15.7%), centre-back Richards (13.8%), and second-half substitute Matheus França (12.9%), who recorded his first assist for the club.
