Le Havre manager Luka Elsner says Andre Ayew is capable of leading his outfit after delivering an outstanding performance to help the club secure an away point against Lorient in the French Ligue 1.
Ayew made a strong return to club football following a disappointing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with the Black Stars.
The experienced Ghana skipper made substitute appearances as his outfit played out a 3-3 draw against Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir - Yves Allainmat on Sunday.
The former Swansea and Nottingham Forest star was introduced in the 70th minute mark and made a good account of himself by scoring twice in the dyeing embers of the game to earn an away point for Le Havre.
"He is capable of leading the group, after a disillusionment at the AFCON (with Ghana)," said the manager after the game.
Le Havre had to twice come from behind to secure a point at the Stade du Moustoir.
"I am amazed by the ability of my team, who managed to come back twice. It was a difficult match for us, difficult to prepare for and difficult in content," the manager said as he reacted to the performance of his players.
"We went through a period after our first goal where we didn't do what was necessary to put Lorient in difficulty, who almost took the upper hand afterwards. We have a real talent on the team. This point of the draw taken is extremely important in the race to maintain. Even if when you concede three goals after leading the score, there are things to review."
The visitors opened the scoring after just 15 minutes into the game through Emmanuel Sabbi, who scored from the spot before Imran Louz leveled pegging for Lorient. Both teams went to recess with a goal apiece.
Lorient doubled their advantage in the second half through Ayman Kari after hitting the back of the net in the 51st minute mark but André Ayew restored parity in the 85th minute for his side.
The host appears to have snatch victory after Mohamed Bamba found the back of the net in the 92nd minute but the Ghana international stepped up once again to level pegging in the 94th minute to snatch a draw for the visitors.
