Andre 'Dede' Ayew put up a splendid showing for his French Ligue 1 side, Le Havre, as they drew 3-3 away at Lorient in his first game after the Black Stars exited the 2023 AFCON.

The game, which was played on Sunday, January 28, 2024, saw Dede Ayew scoring two goals to secure a point for his club.

The Black Stars captain had been vilified on social media following the team's shambolic performances and exit from the AFCON in the previous week.

Dede Ayew bashed for Ghana's AFCON 2023 exit

Ghana gathered two points after three games, losing 2-1 to Cape Verde before drawing 2-2 with Egypt and Mozambique. That only placed the Black Stars third in the group and thus could not advance to the knockout stage.

Dede was particularly blamed for his role in the 2-2 draw with Mozambique. The skipper was subbed on at the start of the second half but caused a penalty in the 90th minute, which was converted to begin Mozambique's comeback.

With all the social media bashing and calls for him to retire from the Black Stars, Dede needed a respite, and it came in a superb way as he proved with his brace that he was not a finished player as some were suggesting.
