Ayew played for the entire game and despite the defeat still made a high 73 touches, 37 accurate passes (88%), five successful dribbles from five and won nine of 13 ground duels.

The 28-year old Ghanaian has made 22 competitive appearances this season, scoring five goals and providing one assist.

This defeat to Derby is the first-ever home defeat Crystal Palace have suffered in the FA Cup as a top-flight side against a lower league opponent.
