Black Stars deputy skipper Andre Ayew scored his third goal in three days for West Ham in their 2-2 Premier League stalemate at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

After scoring two goals in the Carabao Cup win at Tottenham in midweek, Ayew netted a fine finish but it was not enough to salvage full spoils for the Hammers.

A clever flicked finish from Chicharito on 31 minutes was followed up by a fantastic strike by Ayew moments before half-time, giving the forward three goals in his last two matches.

Palace got a goal back after the interval via the penalty spot through Luka Milivojevic while Joe Hart produced some moments of brilliance in goal, most notably a double stop just before the half-time whistle.

But, despite a gallant effort, West Ham's resolve was broken seven minutes into injury time as Zaha squeezed home with virtually the last kick of the game.

Ayew appears to have rediscovered his best form after a disappointing start to the campaign.
