Asamoah Gyan Names His favourite Goal he Has Ever Scored in His Career

Meanwhile, Asamoah Gyan had no hesitation in naming his stunner at Wembley as the greatest goal he has ever scored.

The former Sunderland striker scored a spectacular goal to deny the Three Lions of England a win in a friendly match against the Black Stars of Ghana in 2011.

It was Ghana’s first-ever game against England and the West African side proved their worth as they denied the British a win in an entertaining match.
