MAY 25, 2016 LISTEN


Richard Arthur's sublime goal won All Stars all spoils against Asante Kotoko in a dramatic Ghana Premier League encounter played at the Wa park on Wednesday.

The Northern blues upped their efforts to end the winning run of the Porcupines to move up on the league ladder.

Goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who made six crucial saves in All stars 1-1 stalemate at Ashanti Gold was at his best as he made a couple of brilliant stops to deny Kotoko a deserved point.

Dauda Mohammed who missed Kotoko's 1-0 win over Dwarfs last Sunday due national duty was handed a starting role by caretaker coach Michael Osei on his return but could not save the day.

Although he missed a clear goal scoring opportunity in the first department of the game.

Richard Arthur increased his tally to five goals in the 15th minute, when he shot pass hapless Ernest Sowah in goal for the visitors.

Asante Kotoko dominated most parts of the second half with lead striker Dauda Mohammed as well as Bennett Ofori threatening on a number of occasions.

The results means All Stars have moved to the summit of the table ahead of Hearts of Oak who will host Liberty professionals on Thursday at the Accra sports stadium.

Whilst Kotoko have slipped to fourth. Their next match is at home against Techiman city on Sunday.
