The Ghanaian duo of Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp helped Crystal Palace to a zero win in their first English Premier League game against Southampton at Selhurst Park.
Both weren’t on the score sheet, but they played a key role with Jefferey Sclupp giving way to Ebereche Eze in the 81st minute, while Jordan Ayew lasted the full duration.
Crystal Palace got off to a winning start to the 2020-21 Premier League season when a volley from Wilfried Zaha proved enough to sink Southampton.
The Ivory Coast striker, who has been repeatedly linked to a move away from Selhurst Park, was unmarked when he produced a clinical finish with an impressive cross from Andros Townsend.
Nathan Redmond squandered a great opportunity after a skillful play from Southampton, while Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita made an excellent save to avoid a volley from Che Adams.
Guaita then produced a reflex save to deny Danny Ings a draw on last gasp. Saints defender Kyle Walker-Peters had a red card downgraded to yellow in the second half after referee Jonathan Moss reviewed his foul on Tyrick Mitchell on the courtside monitor. Moss had already shown him a red card to the former Tottenham player before leaving the field to review the challenge on screen.
