\n
Black Stars forward, Jordan Ayew, has emerged as the all-time Ghanaian top scorer in the history of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
This comes after scoring a late equalizer in Leicester City’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson broke the deadlock in the first half before Enzo Fernandez doubled the lead in the second half for the away side.<\/p>\n
However, with minutes to end the game, Ayew, who replaced Wilfred Ndidi in the 71st minute scored an equalizer from a spot kick to end the game 2-1.<\/p>\n
Jordan Ayew’s late equalizer against Enzo Maresca’s side means he has become the first Ghanaian to score 40 goals in the history of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
The Ghana international who joined Leicester City from fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace has so far scored three times in 11 appearances in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Jordan Ayew moved to the Premier League in 2015 where he joined Aston Villa from Lorient. After two years at Villa, Ayew joined Swansea City.<\/p>\n
However, Jordan Ayew was loaned out to Crystal Palace after two years. Following the conclusion of his loan spell at Selhurst Park, Ayew’s stay was made permanent.<\/p>\n
After six years, Jordan Ayew left the club to join Leicester City last summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
