Jordan Ayew excited to spur Crystal Palace to three points in Premier League

Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew is delighted to have scored to help his side beat West Ham United 2-1 in the English Premier League on Saturday albeit under controversial circumstances.

With the score at 1-1 three minutes to full-time in the matchday eight fixture, the Ghanaian slotted into the net for a seeming match winner, only to see his goal disallowed for offside.

After a rather lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) review, however, saw the strike reinstated, handing the Eagles all three points away at the London Stadium.

"Sometimes you need a bit of luck and I think today we deserved three points," Ayew said, as reported by his club's official website.
