News about Jordan Ayew

TOM PRENTKI AT ST MARY'S: The Saints boss is under increasing pressure after taking just a point from the first eight games, and this week he declared the season's objectives were clear: for him to still be the manager in May and for Southampton to still be in the Premier League. At present both look unlikely, but Martin will stick with the possession-based style which got Southampton back into the top flight at the first time of asking. Time is not on Martin's side.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT GOODISON PARK: Jordan Ayew's spectacular strike gave new Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner something to celebrate before Amadou Onana's late header saved Everton and helped them escape from the relegation zone. During a viewing brief, Ayew's moment of quality midway through the second half was out of syncation with the rest of the mundanity, with two struggling teams providing two struggling sides and a Glasner smiling up in the directors' box. However, the fog at Goodison Park was lifted six minutes from time by a superb Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who missed his punch at Dwight McNeil's corner, and replacement Onana could not miss a few yards.

Jack Gaughan of Mail Sport takes a look at some of the match's talking points.

Exclusive BY ISAAN KHAN: In 2023, Arsenal's winger was the league's third most fouled player after being subjected to 87 fouls. Just Jordan Ayew (117) of Crystal Palace and Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes (92) were fouled more. It was reported that it was a series of incidents that prompted Arsenal to announce that opponents are free to boo the winger in Premier League matches without being disciplined for the first time. The matter was brought up earlier this season as part of a wider discussion regarding the league's referee body - a discussion that occurs between both clubs and the body.

At the weekend, former Premier League referees Dermot Gallagher and Jay Boothroyd clashed over a number of controversial penalty calls in the Premier League. Gallagher, 66, served in the top flight from 1992 to 2007 and now works as a Sky Sports referee expert, giving his take on a number of decisions. Mathias Jorgensen's match against Jordan Ayew was reportedly delayed by three borderline penalty calls from the weekend's action, Aaron Ramsey's foul on Jhon Duran, which resulted in a penalty, William Saliba's clash with Bobby Decordova-Reid, which was not given as a spot kick, and Sky Sports News presenter Rob Wotton's clash with Ahmed Ayew that was not awarded as a penalty,

We'll be missing Roy Hodgson as he leaves the game. We'll miss his humanity, honesty, and humility; one of football's true gentleman. The antonym of what the game has become, judging, approachable, and amusing. However, don't be fooled; Hodgson's hardened side isn't lost. A nice guy can do it to a forty-seven years in management. Many that have been on the receiving end of Hodgson's tongue will testify to the other half of his character.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT SELHURST PARK: Since seeing their team earn their second straight draw, Crystal Palace's supporters erupted in full throttle. But although the ones at Manchester City were on a heroic run to gain a point from 2-0 down, they were given some hope against Brighton. The home fans spent a long time waiting for referee John Brooks to blow the final whistle, which he eventually did as the two teams played out a very predictable fifth straight Selhurst Park draw.

As he congratulated Liverpool's injury-time winner against Crystal Palace, Harvey Elliott hosted popular anime television show Dragon Ball Z. At Selhurst Park, the England U21 international was introduced as a 75th-minute replacement, with the Reds trailing 1-0 to Jean-Philippe Mateta's second half goal. However, the game turned on its head after Jordan Ayew was given a second yellow card for his second foul on Elliott, and minutes later Mohamed Salah scored to bring Liverpool to the top. Elliott was supposed to play his part in the win after being curled in a 91st minute winner from 30 yards to propel Jurgen Klopp's team to the top of the Premier League table. Elliott took inspiration from Japanese TV series and company Dragonball Z, and the pivotal moment needed a special occasion.
