"Also, the second one, a strike from Dean [Henderson, with the assist], and how Jordan takes the ball, the technical ability is amazing, and then the finish as well," he told Crystal Palace TV.
"And then I really enjoyed Asher: 18 years [old], he's been with us for three days. He did a great finish, so it was a very nice goal."

Ayew has been a key figure at Selhurst Park since joining the South London club from Swansea City.
