Andre Ayew put behind him a disastrous Africa Cup of Nations to score a late brace and earn Le Havre a point in the six-goal thriller against Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

The Black Stars captain rejoined his club on Saturday and was named in the squad for the game 24 hours later.

The veteran forward started on the bench and made the difference after coming on to replace Daler Kuzyaev with 20 minutes remaining.

Ayew first headed home to level with five minutes remaining but the host restored their lead two minutes into injury time.

The 34-year-old then replied two minutes later with a lovely acrobatic kick goal to ensure Le Havre left the Stade du Moustoir with a point.

The goals were his first and second for the French outfit since joining the club late last year after seven months without a team.

Meanwhile, the ex-Swansea City man has been receiving huge backlash at home following the Black Stars' early AFCON elimination.

Ayew made two appearances at the tournament and equalled Rigobert Song's record for most games at the tournament, as reported by Pulse.
