André Ayew misses his return to Ligue 1

On this day of the 13th day of Ligue 1, Le Havre travels to the pitch of FC Nantes with the objective of confirming its series of matches without defeat. Le Havre have not lost a single match since October 8 (defeat against OM).

This meeting against Nantes rhymed with the return of André Ayew to Ligue 1, eight years after his departure from Olympique de Marseille.

But the Ghana international’s comeback did not go as planned. On the bench at the start of the game, the former Nottingham Forest player entered the game a few minutes after the hour mark to try to make the difference against the Nantes block.

However, two minutes after coming on in place of Lois Nego, the Ghanaian was expelled from the game by the referee. Ayew was guilty of an excess of commitment which earned him a red card in the 68th minute.

In the duel with Eray Cömert, the 33-year-old left his crampons on the shin of the Canaries defender. A very clumsy gesture which therefore earned his direct expulsion while the VAR confirmed the decision of Miguel Nogueira, the referee of the match.
