Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson heaps praise on Jordan Ayew after Bournemouth victory
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has heaped praise on Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew and attacking partners Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke following their impressive performances in the 2-0 win over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
Milivojevic put the visitors in front thanks to a splendid direct free kick in the 12th minute before Ayew finished off a brilliantly executed team move to give the Eagles all three points.
The win saw the Eagles seal their fourth victory in a row for the first time in the top-flight history at the Vitality stadium.
"But on that subject, Wilf [Zaha] and all of the front players were superb. Yes, they’re flamboyant and have skill and pace but they were very sensible… If we can keep doing that, it might be a nice end to the season," Hodgson told Palace TV.
Crystal Palace are now just four points adrift of fifth-placed Manchester United, who currently occupy a Europa League spot for next season.
This season, Jordan Ayew has scored nine goals in 29 appearances for Palace.
The striker is Ghana's top scorer in the Premier League with 25 goals, leapfrogging Leeds United legend Anthony Yeboah to achieve the feat.
