Jordan Ayew scored for the first time in over a month after Crystal Palace recorded a 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
The 28-year-old last scored in a 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal on January 11.
After much huffing and puffing against the Seagulls, Ayew broke the deadlock, burying a low shot into the bottom right corner of the net after receiving a pass from Christian Benteke.
It takes his Premier League goal tally for the season to seven, equalling his record set in 2015-16 and 2017-18.

They host Watford next in a week's time.
