Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner was full of praise for Ghana striker Jordan Ayew after displaying sheer brilliance to score an outstanding goal in the 3-1 victory over Wolves in the Stateside Cup.
The 32-year-old majestically controlled a long pass from Dean Henderson before firing home to hand Palace a 2-0 lead in the pre-season encounter.
Ayew went from scorer to provider, serving Asher Agbinone for the Eagles’ third in the game. Earlier in the first half, compatriot Jeffrey Schlupp also netted an outrageous long-range goal.
“Jeffrey Schlupp, what a finish from 30 or 40 yards,” Glasner said. “Also, the second one, a strike from Dean [Henderson, with the assist], and how Jordan takes the ball, the technical ability is amazing, and then the finish as well.
“And then I really enjoyed Asher: 18 years [old], he’s been with us for three days. He did a great finish, so it was a very nice goal.”
Ayew has been linked with a move away from the Selhurst Park with Leicester City reportedly making an offer for his services.
