"I think he deserves that because he has worked hard in recent weeks and he definitely deserves thsi goal."

"It is very important for us as a team but i know how important it is for him because it will give him more confidence going forward."

"I hope he will build on this and keep his form at the club."

Jordan Ayew joined Crystal Palace from Swansea City on loan in August, and the midweek fixture took his games tally in the league to 13 involving nine starts.
