Leif Davis had initially put Ipswich ahead with a superb volley, seemingly securing the win, but Ayew's timely strike altered the result. This marked Ayew's second late goal of the season, following his last-minute winner against Southampton in a 3-2 match last month.
"Crazy, crazy, crazy moment," Ayew remarked. "It's important to leave with something. It was a tough match. I think it was evenly contested. Ipswich played well, and we did too, but sometimes you need a bit of luck, and we got that at the end."
The 33-year-old, who signed a two-year deal worth £5 million from Crystal Palace this summer, has quickly established himself as a vital player under manager Steve Cooper.
