Apart from the first game against Al Sailiya, Ayew has netted in all matches, and is one of Al Sadd's top scorers this season.

After a barren first half, the Wolves were rampant in the second stanza, when Algerian forward Baghdad Bounedjah broke the deadlock in the 59th minute.

Two minutes later, Hassan Al Haydos doubled the lead before Bounedjah added his second in the 74th minute.

Ayew rounded up a brilliant performance with an 82nd minute penalty.

Al Sadd manager Xavi Hernandez was happy with the victory and praised his team's effort.

"We achieved a deserved and well-deserved victory. We were better than Al Arabi and did not suffer during the match. We created many chances and managed to settle matters in the second half by scoring four, along with a more than excellent performance," he said.
