Jordan Ayew: Crystal Palace forward relieved after ending 42-game goal drought

Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew has thanked manager Patrick Vieira for his support after ending his 42-game goal drought in the Premier League.

The Ghana international's previous top-flight goal had come in a home win over Leeds on 7 November 2020.

"It is a relief. I knew it would come at some point because I have been working really, really hard for a time," Ayew told BBC Sport.

"I was happy for myself - personally for my confidence, which is important - and obviously for my family, friends and especially the manager, who has been really supportive with his staff.
