Jordan Ayew was delighted to get on the scoresheet for Swansea City in their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

The forward made the perfect impact from the bench as he scored a sublime equaliser 13 minutes from time to secure a point for the Swans in Leon Britton's first game as caretaker boss.

“I've been waiting for that goal for some time now," he said. “Every weekend, you want to score but you cannot control the situation.

“My two league goals have come against Palace. I hope I can build on this and, more importantly, help things change for the team.

“It was a good game from us. We tried to get the win, but the most important thing was that we didn't lose.

“We need to get out of this situation and will fight very hard to do so."
