EPL: Jordan Ayew scores as Crystal Palace snatch point against Brighton
Jordan Ayew is the sixth Crystal Palace player to hit 20+ goals in the Premier League for the club
Jordan Ayew scored in the first half as Crystal Palace settled for a point against Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Thursday.
Danny Welbeck came off the bench to score a superb header as they drew 1-1 with rivals Crystal Palace.
It is the fifth successive meeting between the sides at Selhurst Park that has ended with the same scoreline.
In an opening 45 minutes of few chances, Palace took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Jordan Ayew.
After Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen was pressed by Chris Richards, the Dutchman gave the ball away to Michael Olise.
The Palace winger, who had looked the player most likely to create an opening, crossed from the right for Ayew to produce a diving header at the far post.
It means Palace are the last of the 20 Premier League teams to score a headed goal this season.
Palace, who are winless in their last seven home matches, remain 15th with 18 points.
