Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson hails Jordan Ayew ahead of Liverpool showdown

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has nothing but compliments for Ghana striker Jordan Ayew ahead of Wednesday's clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool.

The Eagles top scorer this season, Ayew displayed his sharpness once again on Saturday, scoring to seal a 2-0 away triumph over Bournemouth.

The goal took his season tally to nine in 29 matches. There was more to Ayew's Saturday strike than just drawing him close to double figures as it put him clear as the highest-scoring Ghanaian in the history of the Premier League with 25 goals.
