Jordan Ayew had now scored 20 of his 21 goals in the Premier League in the second-half of games; 95% became the highest such after-the-break percentage of any scorer of 20 or more goals in the division. Cheikhou Kouyaté became the fourth player to score for both the Eagles and West Ham United in the Premier League; also Iain Dowie, Michael Hughes and James Tomkins.
