In a remarkable turnaround, Crystal Palace, led by Andre Ayew, bounced back from an early setback to secure a decisive victory against Brentford. Despite conceding an early goal from Keane Lewis-Potter, Ayew played a pivotal role in the team’s recovery, contributing an assist and orchestrating numerous scoring opportunities.

Ayew’s precise cross found Michael Olise at the far post, with the young talent expertly volleying the ball into the net. This goal marked the second occasion in recent days that Ayew and Olise combined their skills, building on their successful partnership from the previous game against Chelsea.

The momentum continued for Palace as Eberechi Eze netted their second goal, giving them the lead before halftime. Olise then added a third goal early in the second half, sealing a much-needed victory for the team.

The result puts an end to Palace’s challenging run of eight matches without a win, while Brentford suffered their fifth consecutive league defeat.

Ayew, a linchpin in his team’s success this season, has been instrumental with the most goals and assists (7) in the Premier League. However, his imminent departure to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, expected no later than January 3, will undoubtedly leave a void in the squad as they gear up for the tournament in Ivory Coast.
