Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has expressed his delight after ending his goal drought for Crystal Palace in the side's 2-0 win against Wolves on Wednesday.
Ayew found the perfect time to break his goal scoring duck for Palace as he sparked a late surge that saw Palace net twice to seal all three points against Wolves at Molineux.
It was the 27 year old’s first goal for the Eagles in 20 games since joining from Swansea City on a season-long loan in August.
Ayew described the win as a big one and believes it is a morale booster after the defeat to Chelsea over the weekend.
“It’s a big win and good for our confidence after losing at home, it was important for us to bounce back and improve our league position so congratulations to all the lads," Ayew said after the game.
“I’m pleased for myself, my family, for our fans and my fans in Ghana and I would like to thank the coach for giving me the opportunity. I was waiting for this moment and now it has come at the start of the New Year means new things, positives and three points so it’s good,” the delighted forward added.
“It is important to be opportunist, making things happen and scoring goals, this is what I try and do and luckily today I was successful. I thank God and will just keep on working hard.”
The delay in finding the net has not been something which has been concerning Ayew and he hasn’t felt an added pressure on his shoulders during his loan spell.
“No not at all, I knew it would come and I have had the support from everyone at the club so I haven’t had any pressure and the most important thing is for the team to win and get the points, which is my main focus.
“We need to keep on improving and that’s what we will do, working hard at the training ground and just concentrating on getting points”.
