Andre Ayew confident of keeping up with scoring form

Published on: 17 April 2017

Ghanaian international Andre Ayew was determined to take the positives out of West Ham United's 2-2 Premier League draw at Sunderland.

The Hammers scored early in each half and twice led at a subdued Stadium of Light, only to concede two bizarre equalisers and end the game with ten men following Sam Byram's red card.

West Ham have now squandered 22 Premier League points from winning positions this season - the highest in the division.

Ayew, whose fifth-minute goal was his fourth in his last eight appearances, says West Ham's rollercoaster season has contributed to their repeated inability to kill teams off when they go in front but insist he will do his best to save the situation.

"I’m confident at the moment and confident for my teammates too," the Ghana winger told whufc.com. "It wasn’t a bad game from us collectively but we’re disappointed to have not taken the three points.

"It was a tough game and we’re disappointed to concede in the last minute. That’s happened a few times now but we’re ready to prepare for Everton and that’s going to be a tough game.

"I think this season has been difficult season in many ways. We just need to work hard to gain confidence and when we’re leading, we went back too much and don’t go forward. It happens when you haven’t got the results you have wanted.

"I know we will solve this problem before the end of the season."

On a personal level, Ayew is now showing regular examples of why the Club spent £20.6m to bring him to east London from Swansea City last summer.

"I think I’m getting there," he observed. "I have said it before, I’m getting there. I know my quality and I’m working hard and my teammates are giving me a lot of confidence. They have a lot of trust in me.

"I am trying to do my best at the moment."
