  • Jordan Ayew broke his long-standing goal drought on Monday when he found the back of the net against Thomas Partey's Arsenal
  • The 30-year-old Ghana international scored in a statement win for Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park
  • Before the game at Selhurst Park, Jordan Ayew had not found the net for club and country since December 2021

Black Stars and Crystal Palace forward Jordan Pierre Ayew has expressed delight in muting his detractors over his weaker foot.

According to Jordan, he receives a lot of stick for his inability to fully utilize his left foot and is excited he has put to bed the narrative about his weaker foot.

The 30-year-old forward recently broke his goalscoring duck when Crystal Palace squared off against top-four chasers Arsenal.

His goal, which was his second of the season, helped the Eagles stun Arsenal 3-0 at Selhurst Park on Monday.

Still, in celebration mood, Jordan aimed a sly dig at his critics after scoring a beautiful goal with his 'weaker foot.'

“It’s a lovely pass [from Joachim Andersen],” he told Palace TV+ as quoted by Football Ghana.
“Obviously it’s on my left foot – people give me stick about my left foot, but today I think I showed them that I have a good left foot. I just slotted it in. I’m very happy, and I hope it’s not the last goal I score. I hope there is more to come in the next few games.
“I’m pleased. As soon as I came back from AFCON, I didn’t really have game time, and today I had my opportunity so I'm happy to have taken it and happy to score as well. It has not been easy but we keep on pushing and working, and we’re happy it paid off.” He ended.
