Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew became just the sixth player to score 20 or more goals for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

He joins the list following his goal against Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday night at Selhurst Park on matchday 18.

Ayew opened the scoring from a header in the 45th minute of the fixture after Michael Olise's cross into the box.

However, the Eagles couldn't hold on for all three points as Brighton grabbed a late equaliser through substitute Danny Welbeck.

The goal involvement on Thursday night means Ayew has now been directly involved in 36 goals in 176 Premier League appearances. He has scored 20 goals and set up another 16.

The Ghanaian has two goals and three assists after 17 games this season.

Ayew made a return to the pitch on Thursday after serving a suspension after being sent off against Liverpool.
