In a commanding performance at Selhurst Park, Jordan Ayew orchestrated Crystal Palace’s 2-0 triumph over Newcastle United, delivering his seventh assist of the campaign.
The Ghanaian forward showcased his skill and vision by setting up Jean-Philippe Mateta for the opener with a perfectly executed one-two pass, resulting in a goal ten minutes into the second half.
Returning to the starting lineup following a brief stint on the bench in the previous match against West Ham, Ayew formed a formidable partnership with Mateta upfront, playing a pivotal role in both offensive and defensive aspects of the game.
With sheer determination, Ayew ensured that Palace secured all three points at home, exemplifying his commitment to the team’s success.
Mateta extended Palace’s lead with a goal two minutes before the final whistle, capitalizing on an assist from Will Hughes.
Ayew’s stellar performance earned him a substitution for Michael Olise with 17 minutes remaining, while compatriot Jeffrey Schlupp entered the fray in the last seven minutes, replacing Eberechi Eze.
Having contributed to a total of 11 goals this season, including four goals and seven assists, Ayew continues to be a standout performer for Crystal Palace.
