Ghana striker Jordan Ayew featured for Crystal Palace in their 3-1 win over Aston Villa on match week three of the Premier League.
Ayew put up an impressive performance to help the Eagles secure their first Premier League win of the season in a lively encounter at Selhurst Park.
Aston Villa got off to the perfect start when Ollie Watkins fired low past Vicente Guaita to give the visitors a fifth-minute lead.
But Palace restored parity on the counter less than three minutes later through the impressive Zaha, who shook off Ezri Konsa and beat Emiliano Martinez with a low shot.
The hosts thought they had turned the game on its head when Jeffrey Schlupp struck after 26 minutes only for VAR to adjudge that Odsonne Edouard had strayed offside before finding the Ghana midfielder.
However, VAR later awarded Palace a penalty after Marc Guehi’s back-post header struck Lucas Digne’s arm, with Zaha scoring on the rebound having seen his spot-kick saved by Martinez.
Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta wrapped up the win for Palace with a well-taken strike – only a minute after replacing Edouard.
Ayew has made three appearances for Crystal Palace in the Premier League so far this season.
