Jordan Ayew's goal against West Ham was worthy of winning any game
Crystal Palace have been one of 2019-20’s surprise packages thus far; tipped to struggle in the Premier League, Roy Hodgson’s side actually sit in 9th position, just 5 points behind Manchester United in 5th. Part of the reason for this success has been the goals of Jordan Ayew; the Ghanaian international has scored 6 of Palace’s 20 this season.

His crowning moment undoubtedly came against West Ham on Boxing Day, a game that the Eagles won 2-1 thanks to Ayew’s brilliant 90th-minute winner. Receiving the ball practically on the bye-line on the right side of the pitch, the striker quickly cut inside and headed towards the box, then somehow managed a 360° pirouette to slip past Declan Rice.
Even from there, Ayew still had work to do – but he made it look easy, ghosting past a further two defenders with quick feet before deftly chipping the ball over the oncoming Lukasz Fabianski. It was a work of pure genius and worthy of winning any Premier League match – and should definitely be considered one of the Goals of the Season.
