Ghana international Jordan Ayew, has praised Crystal Palace’s 4-3 win over West Ham United as ‘a good day’ after the forward set his team on their way to victory. However, Ayew says he wasn’t “so pleased with the goals his side conceded.
The Ghanaian fired in a quickfire equaliser after the visitors had taken an early lead at Selhurst Park, giving his team a platform on which to mount an excellent first-half.
Further goals from Wilfried Zaha and Jeffrey Schlupp arrived before the whistle, and while West Ham continued to reduce the deficit to just a single goal with efforts from set-pieces, Ebere Eze’s second-half penalty was enough to close out the win.
Ayew told BBC Sport: “I’m pleased with the goal and the four goals, but not so pleased with the ones we conceded.
“Overall it was a good day. We are happy, have three points, and now we need to keep on pushing to win more games.”
“We enjoy playing together [as teammates]. We want to score goals, get assists and be decisive – that is important and something we are trying to do more. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but that is something we are trying to improve.
“Roy [Hodgson] has come in and done a really good job. He has experience, calmness and we knew him before. He has given us belief to believe in our qualities and to express ourselves.”
