5. Ghana v Algeria (AFCON 2015)

Ghana needed some inspiration after losing their first game against Senegal. Gyan was half fit and sick, but the talisman managed to score the winner at the death.

6. Ghana v Nigeria (AFCON 2010)

Ghana was written off at the tournament. No Appiah, No Essien and no Muntari but Gyan singlehandedly carried the Black Stars through. His semifinal goal against Nigeria remains one of the painful defeats for the West African rivals.

7. Ghana v England (Friendly)

Asamoah Gyan made Julien Lescott looked like a meme. He stylishly got the entire defence of England ball watching as he netted in a friendly at Wembley.
