Jordan Ayew is playing so well – Crystal Palace coach Roy Hodgson
The Black Stars forward continued his fine form as Palace recorded a 2-0 win against Southampton over the weekend.
After the game, Hodgson asserted Jordan Ayew is repaying the club after his explosive performance against Southampton.
“I think he knows us and we know him. He feels comfortable with what we’re asking him to do. He knows if he continues to do what we consider to be the right things, we’ll back him up and get behind him.

“He’s repaying us by playing so well because today, especially in the first half, when things weren’t going that well, he and [Jeffrey] Schlupp played a very important role in midfield well, and the back four was excellent throughout and the goalkeeper [Sam Johnstone] when called upon.
The 31-year-old has now scored three goals and provided two assists in 31 matches this season in the ongoing season.
