Palace goalscorer Ayew hails Hodgson after victory over West Ham

Crystal Palace goalscorer Jordan Ayew was delighted after their 4-3 win against West Ham.

Ayew was keen to praise manager Roy Hodgson in the aftermath.

He said, "Pleased with the goal and the four goals, but not so pleased with the ones we conceded. Overall it was a good day, we are happy, have three points and now we need to keep on pushing to win more games.

"We enjoy playing together, we want to score goals get assists and be decisive, that is important and something we are trying to do more. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but that is something we are trying to improve."

Asked about the job Hodgson has done, Ayew added: “Roy has come in and done a really good job, he has experience, calmness and we knew him before. He has given us belief to believe in our qualities and to express ourselves. Patrick (Vieira) did a good job but this is a ruthless business. But Roy has come in and done a really good job."
