Jordan was on the scoresheet for the first since December 15, 2022, helping Palace to an emphatic 3-0 win over the Gunners.
In a post on Instagram, the 30-year-old expressed his delight after securing the World Cup qualification and ending his goal drought all in a week.
"What a special week! An amazing team performance & incredible support from the first minute to the last. Very happy to get a goal too," he wrote.
