A number of Crystal Palace supporters have criticised Jordan Ayew’s performance against Burnley on Saturday.
After the final international break, the Eagles have returned to action, making the trip to Turf Moor for an intriguing Premier League clash.
Palace went into the game off the back of successive 2-0 wins against Manchester City and Wolves as Patrick Vieira continues to impress as manager. Burnley are not always an easy opponent, though, so the Eagles knew that a big performance was required on Saturday.
It proved to be a thrilling encounter which swung one way to another, but Ayew received negative reviews from numerous Palace fans on social media. The Ghanaian was hauled off in the 58th minute and, judging by his sporadic mentions on Sky Sports’ live match commentary, he had a rather tepid afternoon at Turf Moor.
Ayew won just one of his seven duels against Burnley, while his only shot was blocked and he failed with two of his three dribble attempts. He was also culpable of losing possession 13 times, as per SofaScore.
