Jordan Ayew praised by Chris Wilder after Sheffield United win

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder praised Ghana captain Jordan Ayew following his first start in a Championship victory over Bristol City. The 35-year-old forward, who joined the club as a free agent this summer, played 69 minutes in the win.

Wilder highlighted Ayew’s defensive work and pressing ability as key factors in helping the team control the match. During his time on the pitch, Ayew completed 13 accurate passes, contributed five defensive actions, and won three of his eight ground duels. Wilder described the performance of both Ayew and Kalvin Phillips as ‘exceptional and outstanding.’

While Ayew has yet to record a goal or assist since arriving at Bramall Lane, the victory allows Sheffield United to climb higher in the Championship standings after a midweek setback.
