Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew says the referee made the right call by pointing to the spot after he was fouled by Youri Tielemans in their 2-1 defeat to Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
According to the 30-year-old, he feels it was completely deserved and that Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha did well to score despite a retake.
Ayew lasted the entire duration of the game at the King Power stadium.
Ademola Lookman opened the scoring for the Foxes in the 39th minute of the game before Dewsbury-Hall made it 2-0 six minutes later.
I think I just did a stepover and he [Youri Tielemans] went and put his leg on and caught me. It’s as simple as that, “he said after the game, as quoted by the club’s official website.

“The most important thing is he scored – that’s the most important thing and there’s nothing to complain about. He did the most important thing: put it in the back of the net.”
