Ghana captain Andre Ayew facing criticism following Ghana’s disappointing campaign in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), has silenced his critics with two beautiful brace for his club, Le Havre, in the French Ligue 1.
After a poor performance with the Black Stars, where Ghana were eliminated in the AFCON group stage, Ayew faced backlash from football fans and pundits who called for his retirement.
However, Ayew once again proved age is just a number as he made a instant impact upon his return to Le Havre.
In a dramatic Ligue 1 clash, Ayew came off the bench in the 70th minute to restore parity for Le Havre. Ayew who replaced Daler Kuzyaev in the 92nd showcased his goal-scoring prowess, rising above defenders to produce a remarkable header inside the right post, bringing the score to 3-3.
Although Lorient managed to score another goal, temporarily dashing Le Havre’s hopes, Ayew was not finished. With great determination, he scored an overhead kick which left the opposition goalkeeper, Yvon Mvogo, hopeless and helpless to stop the ball from entering the net.
Ayew’s brilliant overhead goal leveled the score again, ending the match in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Meanwhile, Le Havre maintained their 11th position on the Ligue 1 table. Ayew’s remarkable two goals in the space of 10mins not only showcased his brilliance and determination but also shows his doubters he still got what it takes to play at the highest level of football.
Below is the video of his two brilliant goals:
