The experienced forward said his positioning for the goal was pure instincts and affirmed his belief in himself and his abilities.
Ayew was the match-winner when the Foxes came from two goals down to record an impressive 3-2 victory over Southampton last Saturday.
The Ghana international came on in the second half and proved decisive, with his late goal securing Leicester the maximum points at St. Mary’s Stadium.

It was Ayew’s second goal for Steve Cooper’s side, having earlier netted in the EFL Cup against Tranmere Rovers, but his first in the Premier League for the Foxes.
Reacting to his match-winning strike against Southampton, the 33-year-old said he had a lot of belief in his abilites, adding that there was more to come from him.
“It was my natural instincts. As Premier League players, we need to improvise in certain situations, and that’s what I did. Sometimes you work on it in training, and it doesn’t happen in the game, but this time, it worked,” Ayew said after the game.
“It was a special moment because it’s my first goal for the club in the league. I believe in myself, and I believe in my abilities. I know I can bring a lot to the team.”
Ayew joined Leicester from Crystal Palace at the start of the 2024/25 season in a deal worth £10 million. The Ghanaian is his country’s highest-ever scorer in the Premier League with 38 goals.
