Ghana goalkeeper, Jojo Wollacott kept his third successive clean sheet in Swindon Town’s 5-0 thumping of Warshall on Tuesday evening.

Wollacott had been under intense criticism for his role in Ghana's exit at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, while his record in goal has been disappointing.

However, the 25-year-old seems to be gradually getting back to form as he has not conceded a goal in his last three games.

It was a relatively quiet evening for the young goalkeeper but he was able to pull off two fantastic saves late in the game to finish the match with a clean sheet.

At the end of the one-sided match, a brace each from Louie Barry and Ricky Aguiar, and a strike from Jonathan Williams handed Swindon the big win at home.

This season, Joseph Wollacott has played 27 matches for his team and now has eight clean sheets to his name.

Wollacott Named in League Two Team of the Week

Wollacott's impressive display for Swindon Town over the weekend earned him a place in the SkyBet English League Two team of the week.

Swindon whitewashed Carlisle 3:0 on Saturday, with Wollacott keeping back-to-back clean sheets. His display earned him a team of the week spot.

Wollacott will hope his recent performance at club-level will be more than enough to maintain his position as the undisputed No.1 goalkeeper for the Black Stars.

The England-born goalie expressed delight in making his first appearance for the West African country.
