Jordan Ayew: Crystal Palace boss Vieira sheds more light on Ghanaian’s bad night against Brighton

The Eagles manager spoke on the striker’s situation during a pre-match presser on Friday ahead of Sunday’s encounter with Leicester City

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has thrown more light on Jordan Ayew’s disappointment following Monday’s 1-1 home draw with Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League, revealing the Ghanaian’s mood was not particularly different from that of the rest of the squad.

The attacker came under criticism following the match week six fixture after spurning a one-on-one opportunity with the goalkeeper to score a potential match winner.

Ultimately, the miss proved mighty costly as Neal Maupey scored at the death for Brighton to dramatically cancel out Wilfried Zaha’s first half penalty for Palace.
