Leicester City were down by two goals after the first half but the 2016 champions produced a strong second half display with Ayew sealing the win with a last-minute strike.
“I hope the supporters really enjoyed the game. It was a special moment, because it was my first goal for the Club in the league. It took a bit of time, but I believe in myself, I believe in my abilities, and I know that I can bring in a lot of things," he said in a post-match interview, as quoted by the club's official website. “I went to the fans to thank them because they've been behind me since I came through the door. They've been behind me and I'm happy for them as well and happy for myself and my family as well.”Ayew's experience makes the difference
The 33-year-old has enormous experience playing in the Premier League, having starred for Aston Villa, Swansea City and Crystal Palace in the past.
Ayew has made over 250 appearances in the English topflight league, and he is expected to play a huge role in Leicester's campaign.
With the Foxes making a return to the league, their ambition will be to stay up.
Ayew signed a two-year deal to join Leicester City from Crystal Palace last summer, as reported by the BBC.
