Jordan Ayew delighted by 'great' Crystal Palace win against Manchester United despite penalty miss

Published on: 21 September 2020

Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has expressed delight in Crystal Palace's 'great' victory at Old Trafford on Saturday in the English Premier League.

The 29-year-old missed a penalty, which was retaken and scored by Wilfried Zaha as the Eagles defeated Machester United 3-1.

"A great result and performance yesterday. Still disappointed about the pen but main thing was the result! Time to focus on Saturday!," he posted on Twitter after the game. 

 

Ayew won the spot kick after striking the ball against the arm of defender Victor Lindelof inside the box.

He elected himself to deliver but his feeble strike was pushed out by a stretched De Gea.

However, the Video Assistant Referee spotted the United No.1 was off his line when the kick was taken and so it had to be retaken.

This time Wilfried Zaha converted it into the roof to double Crystal Palace's lead.

Manchester United halved the deficit through new signing Donny van de Beek, who was making his debut, before Zaha scored again to regain their two-goal lead.

Andros Townsend opened the scoring after lashing on a Jeffrey Schlupp assist in the first half.
