Andre Ayew
hit the post from point-blank range twice in a matter of moments during West
Ham's clash with Liverpool, a miss Graeme Souness described as one of the worst
of the season. The ball
fell to the Ghana striker inside the six-yard box after Liverpool failed to
deal with a Manuel Lanzini corner.
With the
goal gaping, the forward controlled the ball and turned it towards goal from
around two yards out. Incredibly the ball came back off the right-hand post and
back into Ayew's path.
Having
fallen over during his first attempt at goal, the striker then poked the ball
home from a sitting position. Again the ball came back off the post. This time,
however, it rebounded into the arms of a thankful Simon Mignolet.
The miss
ensured West Ham went in at half-time of the Premier League clash trailing 1-0
after Daniel Sturridge put Liverpool into the lead midway through the first
half.
During the
break Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness blasted the West Ham forward's failure
to find the net, claiming: 'It's up there with the misses of the season, you
can imagine Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal lads watching this one.
'He has two
goes at it. It's a shocking miss, it's as bad as it gets.'
