It was a close shave for Andre Ayew and Le Havre who were seconds away from losing their status among the elite clubs in France next season.
Le Havre had to twice battle from behind to secure maximum points.
Le Havre fought from 1-0 down before coming back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 against Strasbourg away from home on the final day of the French Ligue 1.
Ghana’s Andre Ayew played 64 minutes before he was replaced, with his side trailing 2-1.
Ayew was involved in five goals (four goals, one assist) throughout the season as his side avoided the drop.
Le Havre finished the season with 34 points from 34 games, just a point above 16th-placed Reims who are set to go through the Ligue 1 playoffs to determine their status next season.
