In a clash that saw Tottenham Hotspur extend their lead at the top of the Premier League, the spotlight fell on Jordan Ayew, who showcased his brilliance with a stunning late strike for Crystal Palace on Friday night.
Tottenham seized control in the second half, but it was a stroke of fortune that led to the opener when Palace’s Joel Ward accidentally deflected James Maddison’s cross into his own net.
Maddison’s influence didn’t stop there. His creative interplay with Brennan Johnson paved the way for Son Heung-min to fire home his eighth goal of the season.
In the dying moments of the match, Jordan Ayew delivered a moment of magic, expertly controlling the ball on his chest before unleashing a thumping strike into the net.
However, despite his brilliance, it wasn’t enough for Palace to secure an equalizer.
With this victory, Tottenham now sits comfortably at the top of the Premier League table with 26 points, a five-point lead over Manchester City and Arsenal. However, both of their rivals have a game in hand and the opportunity to narrow the gap over the coming weekend.
