Leicester City star Jordan Ayew reflects on “bit of luck” and hard work after late goal against Ipswich

His goal, which came in the final moments of stoppage time, transformed what seemed to be a certain victory for Ipswich into a hard-earned 1-1 draw for the Foxes at Portman Road.

In discussing the goal, Ayew highlighted the significance of preparation and maintaining composure in high-pressure situations. He remarked, "Sometimes you need a bit of luck, but that's why you practice finishing, to be ready for these moments."

The seasoned forward also conveyed his happiness at seeing his efforts rewarded. "I'm pleased today because I had an initial shot that was cleared, but the second one found the net, so I'm really happy," he stated. "It boosts our confidence as a squad."

Ayew’s late goal marks his second vital last-minute strike this season, reinforcing his importance to Leicester under manager Steve Cooper.

Despite the season's difficulties, Ayew underscored the team's resolve to keep pushing forward. "We keep on fighting," he said. "We anticipated a challenging season with its ups and downs. It's all part of the journey, so we look ahead to the next match."

This draw helps maintain Leicester's strong position as they adjust to the Premier League, with Ayew’s late-game contributions serving as both motivation and momentum for the team.
