The occasion was probably made sweeter by the fact Ghana President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was in attendance at Selhurst Park to watch the match.

After the game, Jordan met the West African country’s Commander-in-Chief before presenting him with a framed and signed Crystal Palace jersey with his name and squad number on it.

They also had a conversation about the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where the Black Stars were paired against Uruguay, South Korea and Portugal.

Jordan Ayew was instrumental in the Black Stars' qualification to the Mundial at the expense of the Super Eagles of Nigeria last week.

Jordan Ayew played a key role as Ghana returned to the World Cup after urging Nigeria in the playoff last week.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ghana international Jordan Ayew has expressed his joy at finally scoring again for Crystal Palace against Arsenal on Monday night.

The 30-year-old scored his second goal of the season in the 24th minute in their 3-0 triumph over the Gunners at Selhurst Park.

The Black Stars forward latched onto a superb 30-yard pass from Joachim Andersen to score with a composed finish from the edge of the area.
