Man-Of-The-Week: Al Ain Striker Asamoah Gyan

GHANASoccernet.com announces striker Asamoah Gyan as the Man-of-the-Week. This was after his double for Al-Ain leading to the 4-1 thumping of relegation-trapped Emirates on Sunday at the Emirates Club Stadium at Ras al-Khaimah. The Sunderland loanee, 26, snatches the award from FC Servette winger Ishmael Yartey who won it last weekend. It took just seven minutes for the on loan Sunderland striker to register the opening goal with a classy finish. The 26-year-old then doubled the scoring two minutes before the break with an unstoppable effort to increase his league goal tally to 19. Though Gyan has seven goals to equal African legend Abedi Ayew Pele�s 28 goal record at the club, he has been crucial for the club�s campaign all season and Sunday�s display was breathtaking. GHANASoccernet.com salutes Asamoah Gyan for his heroics for Al-Ain over the weekend and named him the most outstanding performer of the weekend. Meanwhile left-back Abdul Razak Nuhu made another statement about his fine form for Stromsgodset by setting up the second in their 3-0 win over Sogndal on Sunday. On loan Genoa striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom scored the opener for Sassuolo and helped them inch close to Serie A promotion as they humbled Crotone 2-0. Though FC Servette were held to a goalless drawn game by Lausanne at their favourite Stade de Geneva, Ishmael Yartey is widely tipped to make a Ghana return gave a good account of himself. 18-year-old Dutch-born Ghanaian winger Elvis Manu came off the bench to claim all three points for Feyenoord by scoring on the 71st minute mark as they defeated Heerenveen 3-2. Derek Asamoah, Kwame Nsor and Kwame Amponsah-Karikari were all on target for their various club and they deserve a commendation.
