Ghana forward Jordan Ayew was involved in two goals on Saturday as Crystal Palace beat Burnley in the Premier League.

Ayew scored one and assisted the other as the Eagles claimed all three points against the Clarets at home.

After a goalless opening half, Palace broke the deadlock in the 68th minute of the game. The Ghanaian's teasing cross into the box was met by Chris Richards at the back post to give the home side the lead.

Three minutes later, Ayew was on the scoresheet, his second goal in his last two games in the Premier League.

Matheus Franca this time was the provider of the assist. The Brazilian was also involved in the third goal as he won a penalty which was successfully converted by Jean-Philippe Mateta to make it 3-0.

Burnley scored late in the game but the goal was ruled out for offside.

The 3-0 result gives Oliver Glasner a winning start to life as Palace boss after replacing Roy Hodgson.
