Jordan Ayew expressed his excitement after scoring his first Premier League goal for Leicester City in spectacular fashion, guiding the Foxes to a 3-2 comeback victory over Southampton.
In a game that seemed out of reach with Leicester trailing 2-0 at halftime, the Ghana forward delivered a last-minute strike in the 98th minute at St. Mary’s Stadium, completing a remarkable turnaround for his side.
Reflecting on the goal, Ayew attributed it to his instincts, saying, “It was my natural instincts. As Premier League players, we need to improvise in certain situations, and that’s what I did. Sometimes you work on it in training, and it doesn’t happen in the game, but this time, it worked.”
Jordan Ayew described the match-winner as a “special moment,” emphasising the significance of scoring his first league goal for Leicester since joining the club this summer.
“It was a special moment because it’s my first goal for the club in the league. I believe in myself, and I believe in my abilities. I know I can bring a lot to the team,” he added.

The thrilling victory was sparked by the exploits of fellow Ghanaian forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who came off the bench to provide an assist and win a penalty, helping Leicester bounce back from two goals down.
Ayew’s late goal secured three crucial points for Leicester City, underscoring his potential to be a key figure for the Championship winners in the Premier League this season.
