Ayew created Palace’s opening goal with a delicious delivery into the six-yard box, which Odsonne Edouard fired home. The Ghanaian was tireless on the right-hand side throughout the match as Palace were unfortunate to slip to a late defeat.
Ayew won 31.6% of the vote. In second and third place came Palace’s midfield duo Ebere Eze (15.4%) and Michael Olise (14.8%), who combined to lethal effect in midfield and demonstrated their ability to muck in defensively as Chelsea came forward.
