Jordan Ayew breaks personal record, fires Crystal Palace past Watford

Jordan Ayew scored the only goal of the game and set his personal best Premier League record as Crystal Palace defeated Watford 1-0 on Saturday to move up to ninth on the table.

The Eagles, who have won their last three matches 1-0, move up to 39 points ahead of next weekend's away game at Bournemouth, and Jordan, who has now scored in back-to-back Premier League games, has been influential as the Londoners have ended a winless streak that had stretched back to Boxing Day.

Ayew has now also scored nine Premier League goals for Crystal Palace, more than he did at either Aston Villa (seven) or Swansea (eight), and has taken his tally for the season to eight, which is more than he’s netted in any of his previous campaigns.
