The Ghanaian striker, who was signed from Aston Villa on deadline day in January, had gone 13 matches without a goal until Sunday when he rose to the occasion to put is trailing side back into the game.
Then Ayew stepped up the pressure with his own header, getting onto the end of Fernando Llorente’s header inside the box to put it past goalkeeper Ben Foster on 72 minutes.
Sensing the enormity of the occasion, the 25-year-old sank to his knees with hands pointed to the skies in appreciation at finally breaking his duck.
Even though Jordan did not enjoy the same kind of first season that his older sibling Andre had at Swansea, he has become one of the trusted men for manager Paul Clement.
He grabbed three assists in 14 appearances, nine of which he started. He would hope to have a great pre-season with the squad that should give him a better head start when the new season resumes in August.
