Ghana skipper Andre Ayew has been recognised with the prestigious Goal of the Month award for his outstanding performance in the French Ligue 1 in January.
Ayew’s jaw-dropping bicycle kick, executed during the intense 3-3 draw against Lorient, earned him accolades for his extraordinary skill and significant contribution to the match.
Coming in as a substitute in the 70th minute, the experienced Black Stars attacker displayed his prowess by scoring twice in the dying minutes, ensuring Le Havre secured a valuable point. The match was a thrilling back-and-forth affair, with Ayew equalizing twice in the dying embers of the game after Lorient had taken a two-goal lead.
The captivating encounter concluded with a 3-3 draw, with Ayew’s late heroics salvaging a crucial point for his team. The 34-year-old’s remarkable form persisted, as he recently found the net again in Le Havre’s French Cup defeat to Strasbourg.
Ayew’s well-deserved Goal of the Month award not only highlights his exceptional skill but is also expected to bring a sense of relief amid the challenges he has faced.
Despite some inconsistencies in his club football journey, notably departing from Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, Ayew has made a triumphant return to France, showcasing his prowess with three goals.
Following a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign with the Black Stars, Ayew’s remarkable return to club football is commendable. With this recent accolade, Ayew is poised to maintain his impressive form throughout the ongoing season.
