    Ayew earns Palace a point against Southampton

    Jordan Ayew's first goal of the season helped Crystal Palace fight back to draw 2-2 against Southampton.

    Wilfried Zaha slotted past Willy Caballero at the near post to put Palace in front after two minutes.

    Southampton equalised on 32 minutes through James Ward-Prowse's superb free-kick into the top-left corner.

    Ralph Hasenhuttl's side then took the lead four minutes later, after Armando Broja fired past goalkeeper Jack Butland from 25 yards.

    Odsonne Edouard was denied by a double save from Caballero, but Palace did level in the 65th minute through Ayew, who tucked in from a tight angle after the Saints 'keeper could only parry Edouard's shot.

    Joel Ward blazed over the crossbar in stoppage time as neither side could find a late winner.

    Crystal Palace move up to 11th with 20 points, three clear of Southampton in 15th.
