Crystal Palace captain Joel Ward has hailed teammate Jordan Ayew as a player whose quality is unparalleled within the team, following Palace’s 3-1 victory over Burnley in the English Premier League.
Ayew’s milestone 200th appearance for the London side coincided with Oliver Glasner’s debut as Palace manager, succeeding Roy Hodgson.
Ayew’s impact was palpable during the match as he not only scored but also provided an assist for Chris Richards’ goal, playing a pivotal role in securing the much-needed win for Palace.
His contributions did not go unnoticed by Ward, who emphasized Ayew’s significance to the team.
“I think Jordan, at times, goes under the radar, but what he provides and what he does for his team is second to none,” Ward remarked.
Ayew, who has amassed 23 goals and 21 assists in his Palace career, has continued to shine this season with six assists and six goals in 24 English Premier League appearances, despite missing games due to his participation in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana’s Black Stars.
