Ghana forward Jordan Ayew was fortunate to escape with a red card after a ‘reckless’ tackle on Antony Gordon during the Crystal Palace match against Everton on Thursday night.
The Ghanaian international started and lasted the entire duration as his outfit suffered a 3-2 defeat at Everton.
The visitors took the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 21st minute before Jordan Ayew added the second goal in the 36th minute.
After the break, Everton fought back to secure the three maximum points to survive relegation.
Goals from Michael, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were enough for the Toffees to win the much-anticipated game.
During the game, Ayew launched himself into a wild scissor-like challenge on Everton player Anthony Gordon, which earned him a yellow card from referee Anthony Taylor.
Many had described the Ghanaian attacker’s tackle on the player as ‘reckless’.
However, the referee halted the game and called for a VAR review but no action was taken against him as the yellow card was maintained.
