It doesn’t take an expert to see how crucial Jordan Ayew has been in Crystal Palace’s success this season. Netting in consecutive 1-0 wins against Brighton and Watford respectively, the Ghanaian has secured the Eagles two of their three back-to-back wins.
Ayew’s goals, in fact, have led him to teetering on the edge of breaking a seasonal club record with nine games to go. Having earned the Eagles 14 points from eight goals this season, Ayew sits just one point behind Andrew Johnson’s contribution in 2004/05. No single player has collected Palace more points in Premier League history.
