Jordan Ayew scores debut Championship goal for Villa (VIDEO)

Ghanaian striker, Jordan Ayew, netted his first goal in the English Championship for Aston Villa as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Barnsley on Tuesday evening.

Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for Villa in the 61st minute before Barnsley's second-half substitute Sam Winnall headed in a last-minute equaliser.

The 25-year-old picked-up a loose ball on the left flank and dribbled into the box before cutting-onto his right foot to fire past the Barnsley keeper at the near-post.

Record Villa signing Jonathan Kodjia forced a good save from Davies but Ayew was alert to pick up the rebound and ran at the near post before smashing the ball in between the keeper and his left post.

Ayew’s compatriot and Black Stars teammate Albert Adomah also lasted 87 minutes at the Oakwell Stadium.

Barnsley snatched the equaliser minutes after Adomah’s substitution when Winnall cancelled-out Ayew’s opener by heading-in from a corner.

Ghanaian defender Andy Yiadom also lasted the entire duration of the game for Barnsley.
