Ghana forward, Jordan Ayew, scored a scorcher to open the scoring at Goodison Park as Crystal Palace began the post-Roy Hodgson era with a draw against Everton.

Hours before the game, the Eagles announced that Hodgson had left his role as manager of the club after falling ill during the week.

Patrick McCarthy took charge of the team for the Premier League trip to Merseyside on Monday night.

Following a barren first half, Ayew broke the deadlock in the 66th minute after sending in a powerful drive from outside the box, beating Jordan Pickford.

The Black Stars forward did not hesitate after Jean Phillippe Mateta guided the ball to his path, as spotted in a video shared on social media.

Everton pulled level with six minutes remaining after second-half substitute Amadou Onana scored moments after coming on.

The draw keeps Crystal Palace 15th on the table, four points adrift of the drop zone following a torrid period since the turn of the year.

The goal was Ayew's third of the campaign in 23 appearances for the South London club. He has also delivered five assists in the ongoing season, per Transfermarkt.

Meanwhile, Palace will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host Burnley on Saturday.

Ayew played all three games for the Black Stars at the Africa Cup of Nations.
