Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew bagged could well be in contention for the Premier League's Goal of The Season award with his stunning solo goal for the Eagles on Boxing Day. A moment of brilliance by the Ghanaian international completed a dramatic comeback for his side against West Ham in Thursday's clash.
Having finished the first half with stalemates, the 28-year-old attacker and his teammate were made to fight back following Robert Snodgrass' 57th-minute finish. 11 minutes later, the hosts were set on course to get things back on track with Ayew assisting Cheikou Kouyate for the equalizer.
Right on the 90th-minute mark, the former Aston Villa forward sparked a frenzy inside the Selhurst Park by dancing his way past three West Ham players with impressive skill and panache, simply lobbing the ball past Roberto Jimenez to seal of the day's victory. Watch the goal below:
