Video: Gyan dedicates goal to expectant fans

Published on: 30 March 2011

Ghana’s saviour Asamoah Gyan dedicated his last gasp goal which earned a 1-1 draw with England in Tuesday's exhibition match at Wembley to the fans.

In the 91st minute, Gyan would get a just reward for his endeavours all evening, while also making up for some wasteful finishing.

Seemingly being shepherded away from danger outside the box, the Sunderland forward suddenly burst into the area, cut onto his left side and found the gap between Hart and his far post.

The Ghanaian crowd were sent in to raptures, and when the final whistle blew both sides could be proud of their part in an open and eventful international friendly.

"I dedicate this goal to the fans because they have been waiting for this game for so long and finally it happens and I scored an important goal for the country-something historic. First time of playing England and I can't imagine," Gyan said.

Last year, his late minute penalty miss against Uruguay denied Ghana a place in the semi-final of the Fifa World Cup finals.

But all was forgiven on Tuesday night with the world-class goal against England.
