Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has reached a significant milestone in his illustrious career, scoring his 50th goal in the French top flight during Le Havre’s match against Clermont Foot.
Despite Le Havre’s 2-1 defeat at Stade Gabriel-Montpied in round 26 of the French Ligue 1, Ayew’s left-footed strike in the 46th minute marked his fourth goal of the season, assisted by Russia’s Daler Kuzyaev.
Ayew’s consistent efforts on the field were evident as he put in an 85-minute shift before being substituted, marking his 12th appearance for Le Havre this season in the league.
Ayew’s achievement adds another feather to his cap, as he becomes one of the elite few to reach the half-century mark in Ligue 1 goals.
