  • Yaw Annor will never forget Sunday's Ghana Premier League clash between AshantiGold and Berekum Chelsea
  • The 24-year-old forward was the star of the show with four goals on Sunday afternoon at the Len Clay Stadium
  • The former Ghana youth international has now scored 16 goals in Ghana's top division, two behind Asante Kotoko striker Frank Mbella Etouga

Yaw Annor continued with his red-hot form on Sunday as he scored four goals in AshantiGold's 5-1 victory over Berekum Chelsea in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

His four goals mean he has scored six goals in his last two Premier League matches, taking his tally to 16, two behind Asante Kotoko striker Frank Mbella Etouga.

Annor is regarded as one of the most prolific players in Ghana's top-flight league this campaign, and the numbers back him up.

He is two goals shy of the current top scorer Etouga, who broke a club record on Saturday when his solitary goal gave the Asante Kotoko a 1-0 win at WAFA.

Mbella has now Eric Bekoe's ten-year record of 17 goals for the Porcupine Warriors.

Third on the goal king chart is Bechem United's laymaker Augustine Okrah who has bagged 13 goals so far. He is one goal above Aduana Stars forward Bright Adjei.

Hearts of Oak Seal 3:1 Victory Over Dreams FC to Keep Top 4 Hopes Alive

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that reigning Ghana Premier League champions Accra Hearts of Oak posted a 3-1 win over Dreams FC at the Accra Sports Stadium on matchday 27 in the local top-flight.

Goals from Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, Seidu Suraj and an own goal from Abdul Jalilu were enough to help the Phobians seal a comfortable win at home.

The defending league champions have managed to keep their winning momentum, recording back-to-back wins in their last two matches in the Ghana Premier League since suffering a painful loss in the Super Clash against rivals Asante Kotoko.
