LONDON - Jordan Ayew’s magnificent late solo goal earned Crystal Palace a 2-1 come-from-behind home win against West Ham United in a lively festive derby at Selhurst Park on Thursday.
Injury-hit Palace had failed to win any of their three games leading up to the busy Christmas programme, and when they fell behind in the 57th minute to Robert Snodgrass’s clinical finish it appeared their poor run would continue. Had Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo scored the goal it would have been replayed endlessly, but Ayew was modest about an effort he described as “one of his best”.
“It was a fantastic effort. The second goal was one of those wonderful individual efforts that will live long in the memory, get lots of airings on TV,” he said. Things livened up after the break on a damp afternoon and Ayew had another chance when he burst clear on the right but could not beat Roberto from a tight angle.Michail Antonio’s clever pass released Snodgrass and he took a touch before curling past Vicente Guaita.
