Jordan Ayew has surpassed Tony Yeboah as the highest-scoring Ghanaian in the English Premier League after scoring for Crystal Palace in a 2-0 win at Bournemouth.
Leeds legend Yeboah racked-up his 24-goal tally during a three-year stint at Elland road.
His mark has been bested by Ayew, who now has 25 goals in five years in England's top-flight. The goal was his ninth of the season for Palace.
Ayew, 28, has also had stints with Aston Villa and Swansea since moving to England in 2015.
