In a photo shared on social media, their father - three times African Player of the Year - was spotted with Jordan just before the game started.

Meanwhile, Nigerian forward, Taiwo Awoniyi ended the season in style after scoring the opener for Forest in the 31st minute.

Palace levelled in the 66th minute through Will Hughes, as reported by Sky Sports.

Jordan has been an important player for Crystal Palace this season, playing a pivotal role in the Eagles' turnaround in the second half of the campaign. He scored four goals and provided three assists.

Andre joined Forest in the winter transfer window after ending his stay with Qatari giants Al Sadd.

Hodgson praises Jordan Ayew

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson has hailed Ghanaian forward, Jordan Ayew following his heroic brace in the thumping win over Leeds United.

The striker, often overlooked despite his incredible work rate, has been the star of the South London side since the return of Hodgson.

Ayew provided the match-winning assist in the game against Leicester City a fortnight ago, before scoring twice as the Eagles secured a 5-1 win at Elland Road.

Ghana, USA to play friendly

The Black Stars of Ghana will engage the United States of America in an international friendly on October 17, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee.

The four-time African champions will use the match as a preparatory game for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars have played the United States at several international competitions, including three World Cup meetings.
