Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew endured a disappointing night at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City suffered a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, the club where he once plied his trade.

The English Premier League clash on Wednesday night saw Ayew begin on the bench, with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy introducing him in the 80th minute in a bold attempt to turn the game around. Ayew replaced defender James Justin, adding an attacking spark to Leicester’s play.

Despite the Ghanaian’s energetic efforts in the final ten minutes, Crystal Palace’s earlier goals—scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 52nd minute and Marc Guehi in the 78th—secured all three points for the visitors.

Leicester City will now look to bounce back from the defeat when they face Fulham on Saturday, January 18. Ayew, who has been a key player for the Black Stars, will hope to make a bigger impact in the upcoming match.
