Ghana striker, Asamoah Gyan, has hit back after it was wrongly reported that Cristiano Ronaldo had become the first man to score at eight successive major tournaments.
Ronaldo netted a sublime hat-trick in Portugal’s 3-3 draw with Spain on Friday night, to ensure he has scored in an eighth major tournament in a row.

However, Gyan has come out to point out that he scored in nine major tournaments in a row.

“People disregard my achievements in the World Cup history but I want the whole world to know that I have not been given the fair shake but records will remain forever,” the 32-year-old tweeted.

Striker Gyan, who plays for Kayserispor in Turkey, boasts an impressive CV at major tournaments, finding the target at three World Cups and six African Nations Cup tournaments.
