"Crazy, crazy, crazy moment," an excited Ayew said as shared on the club's official website.
"Important to go away with something. Very difficult game. I think it was an even game. Ipswich did really well. We did well as well, but sometimes you need a bit of luck and you got that bit of luck at the end of the game."

Ayew, who also scored a late winner in the game against Southampton a fortnight ago, admitted it will be a tough campaign for the Foxes but the draw was a good one for the club.

He joined the 2016 English champions in the summer transfer window from Crystal Palace, as reported by the BBC.
