Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew played a pivotal role in Le Havre's dramatic 4-3 victory over Lens in a crucial Ligue 1 clash last Saturday at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Ayew delivered both a goal and an assist, helping his side stage a remarkable comeback after falling behind twice in their battle against relegation.

Lens made an explosive start, with Neil El Aynaoui converting a penalty just two minutes into the game. The hosts then doubled their lead midway through the first half when Ruben Aguilar fired home a volley.

Despite the early setbacks, Le Havre responded with determination. Issa Soumaré ignited the fightback with a stunning long-range strike before setting up Ayew moments later with a well-placed header.

The veteran Ghanaian forward expertly guided the ball into the net, leveling the score at 2-2 before halftime.

Lens regained the lead after the break through Florian Sotoca, but Ayew was once again at the heart of Le Havre's response. His dangerous cross led to an error from Malang Sarr, allowing Josué Casimir to pounce and equalize.

The match reached a thrilling conclusion in stoppage time when Casimir won a penalty. Ahmed Hassan stepped up and confidently slotted home the winner, sealing a sensational comeback for Le Havre.

Ayew's performance took his season tally to five league goals and two assists, underscoring his leadership and influence as Le Havre fights to escape the relegation zone.

With the victory, Le Havre now sits 18th in the table with 20 points and will turn their attention to their next challenge against AS Saint-Étienne at the Stade Océane.— Livescore
