Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew dedicated his first goal in 403 days, to his family, Patrick Vieira, and fans for their support.
The 30-year-old attacker put in a shift against Southampton, and when an Odsonne Edouard shot span loose in the box, he received his reward by striking home from a very tight angle to earn Palace a draw.
The goal sees Jordan Ayew end a run of 43 matches in all competitions without a goal.
"It’s a relief I think. I knew it would come at some point because I’ve been working really hard for [a long] time.
"I was happy for myself personally - for my confidence, it is important - for my family, friends, people who have been supportive and especially the manager, who has been really supportive", Jordan told the BBC post-match.
"Since the first day the manager came in he told me he has big faith in me and belief in me and I should keep on working hard and it will come.
"It may take long but at some point it will pay off and today it paid off. We’re all glad… Today there were negatives and positives but I think it was a good result", he noted.
He added, "Sometimes in football I’ve been really, really unlucky and think today luck was on my side. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work."
"It’s just football. I control what I can control and the things I can’t control I don’t focus on. I just focus on what I can control. Today it went my way."
