Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew won his second consecutive Etoro Man of the Match award following his impressive performances against Manchester United and Aston Villa respectively.

The 27-year-old scored in both matches, being named Man of the Match with 44% of votes for  Man United and 86% for Aston Villa.

Ayew scored Crystal Palace's only goal in the 73rd minute as they defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at the Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Speaking after the game, the former Swansea City forward said, "Since I came to this football club, the staff, Chairman, everyone is motivating me.

"So even if I had a difficult year last season, they still trust in me and they signed me this year.

"The thing I have to do is pay them back on the pitch and that’s what I try to do. I work hard every day and now it’s paying off. I hope it continues."

Jordan joined Crystal Palace from Swansea City on a permanent basis in the summer transfer after a successful loan stint last term.
