Hodgson praises Ayew and updates on Van Aanholt

Roy Hodgson was full of praise for Jordan Ayew this evening after the Palace striker netted a remarkable late goal to secure a Crystal Palace comeback over West Ham United.

Hodgson pulled out Ayew's contribution but couldn't not focus on his wonderful solo effort, saying: "The winning goal was just an incredible winning effort. You just have to take your hat off to Jordan Ayew.

"He worked so hard up until that point and yet still found the energy, still found the strength to produce that pirouette on the edge of the box and find his way through the two defenders coming in to block him and then to show the composure to chip the goalkeeper - I was really happy with that goal.
