Gyan came to the rescue of the four-time African champions by scoring a late equalizer.
The Three Lions had shot into the lead courtesy Andy Carroll’s superb strike. The match came off on March 30, 2011.
The videos have drawn mixed reactions as some fans congratulated him while others took swipes at him for missing a penalty against Uruguay during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported earlier that Gyan’s wife, Gifty, has hinted of forgiving him and perhaps remain in their marriage.
Gyan had brought reproach on his family when he made it public that he wanted DNA tests carried out on all the three children he had with his wife.
He also indicated that he was no longer interested in their marriage and so wanted the court to annul it. Unfortunately for him, the DNA tests turned out to be positive, in that all the children belonged to him.
