Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew attributed his impressive goal against Everton to his rigorous pre-match shooting practice, highlighting its positive impact on his performance during Monday’s Premier League clash.
Ayew, who demonstrated his scoring prowess by netting a crucial goal at Goodison Park, secured a 1-1 draw for the Eagles against the Toffees.
The Ghanaian international showcased a moment of brilliance in the 66th minute, delivering a powerful strike from outside the box to give Crystal Palace the lead. Reflecting on his goal after the match, Ayew revealed that his success was a result of replicating similar efforts during the warm-up session, which boosted his confidence ahead of the game.
“In the warm-up, I scored maybe five in a row, so I had a good feeling today! Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don’t go your way, but you still need to keep pushing, and that’s what I’ve been doing throughout my whole career,” shared Ayew with the club’s official website.
Ayew emphasized the unpredictable nature of football, highlighting the importance of perseverance and determination. He noted that success often comes from continuous effort and relentless pursuit of improvement.
“It comes sometimes. You try, try, try… it could have gone up, but this time it was successful. Today things went well for me,” Ayew concluded, acknowledging the variability of outcomes in football while expressing gratitude for his achievement during the match.
