Crystal Palace skipper Luka Milivojevic has praised Ghana Striker Jordan Ayew for scoring his first goal for the side in the English Premier League.

He put the visitors ahead with seven minutes remaining, producing a sublime touch to control Patrick van Aanholt's effort before converting from close range.

Palace skipper Luka Milivojevic praised the Ghanaian and wants him to build on this going forward.

"I think he deserves that because he has worked hard in recent weeks and he definitely deserves thsi goal."

"It is very important for us as a team but i know how important it is for him because it will give him more confidence going forward."

"I hope he will build on this and keep his form at the club."

Jordan Ayew joined Crystal Palace from Swansea City on loan in August, and the midweek fixture took his games tally in the league to 13 involving nine starts.
