Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew says the confidence levels are returning after victory at Leeds.

The Ghana forward was on target twice against Leeds in a thumping 5-1 victory.

Ayew told Palace TV: “I really enjoyed it. It's not often it happens, and when it happens you have to embrace it and enjoy it.

“I'm pleased with our performance. We stuck to our gameplan. It wasn't easy at the beginning, but this is the Premier League: you're playing against good sides and sometimes it's going to be difficult. You just need to get through it and when you have your moments, you punish them.

“It was a really good day, and we're all happy, but we know that there are still eight games to go and we need to pick up more points."

Ayew added: “I just stuck to the gameplan. I tried to help the team stay in shape, I tracked my man… the basic things. They were rewarded and I'm really happy for myself and the team.

“It's not been easy – we've been struggling [earlier this season] – but since the manager came in, he's done a good job giving us back the confidence to express ourselves, and that's what we're doing.

“[Michael Olise] and Ebs [Eze] and [Jeffrey] Schluppy and [Odsonne] Edouard… it's enjoyable to play with players like that, and Wilf [Zaha]."
