Freshly hired by Le Havre, André Ayew had an eventful return to the Ligue 1 pitches this Sunday.

Launched into battle at Nantes in 65e minute, Abedi Pelé’s son saw red two minutes later (2’24 precisely), for a sole on Canai Eray Comert.

A catastrophic entry into play for the former Marseillais, who had not played in the French elite since 2015.

According to Opta, which has analyzed the French championship since 2006, André Ayew is the fifth shortest ejected off the bench behind his brother Jordan Ayew (1’51). The prize in this area goes to Benjamin Mendy, who received a red card 47 seconds after coming into play.
