Jordan Ayew’s recent performances for Crystal Palace have been impressive, especially since the return of Roy Hodgson to the club.
Before Hodgson took over, Ayew had been struggling to make an impact under Patrick Vieira, having only registered one goal and one assist in 28 Premier League appearances this season. However, Hodgson’s return seems to have provided Ayew with a new lease of life.
In the two games since Hodgson’s arrival, Ayew has already surpassed his season tally with two goals and one assist, which is a significant improvement for the Ghanaian forward.

In addition, this is the first time this season that Ayew has contributed to goals in back-to-back games, indicating that he is finding his form at an opportune time.
The upturn in Ayew’s form is a positive development for Crystal Palace, who are currently battling to avoid relegation. Ayew’s ability to score and create goals could prove crucial in the team’s efforts to secure their Premier League status for another season. If he continues to perform at this level, Ayew could play a vital role in Palace’s survival bid.
