Having been suspended against Manchester City, the Ghanaian forward returned to the starting XI for Thursday's clash with the Seagulls.
The Palace No. 9 duly made his mark on the fixture, stooping at the end of the first-half to head home Michael Olise's precise delivery following good work by Chris Richards and Will Hughes.
Drifting in from the left wing, Ayew was also a constant thorn in Brighton's side, taking on his man on many an occasion and winning four free-kicks for his team.
In the end, his first-half header was cancelled out in the closing stages of the second by Brighton substitute Danny Welbeck in a tight, but competitive, clash in SE25.
A game of few clear chances, and in which both sides traded spells of momentum, yielded a fifth successive 1-1 draw between the two rivals at Selhurst Park.
In a close-run poll, Ayew won 25.8% of your votes, with Olise second on 18.6% and Nathaniel Clyne (16.5%) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (16.4%) just a single vote apart in the results.
