Winning is the most important thing - Jordan Ayew shrugs off personal record

Ghana star Jordan Ayew has downplayed his personal heroics for Crystal Palace as his goals have fetched more points for the Eagles this season than any other player.

Jordan's eighth goal of the campaign secured three points for Crystal Palace in their home game against Watford over the weekend, which made it 19 points out of 20 from the boots of the Ghanaian.

"Watford gave us a very, very good game and I think it was a game where we fought hard. We got the three points but we need to keep going and see where we get to," he said after the game.

"The most important thing for us is to keep winning games, to keep having a positive vibe at the Training Ground and in the dressing room. We have to keep going to make supporters happy," he added.

"The most important thing is the teammates and the manager are giving me the freedom to play and to express myself and that’s what is making me do all the things I’m doing today."

Ayew has now equaled fellow Ghanaian Tony Yeboah's tally of 24 goals in the English Premier League.
