Derek Asamoah: Ghanaian attacker's strike not enough to save Carlisle United in League Two

Veteran Ghanaian attacker Derek Asamoah scored an early opening goal for Carlisle United but they suffered a 4-2 defeat against struggling Dagenham & Red. on Saturday. 

Asamoah raced Carlisle into the lead with a brilliant 16th minute strike but the visitors sat back and allowed their host to equalise and beat them.

Asamoah has hit a fine scoring form since joining the League Two side in October and has netted six times in nine games, earning praises from his team-mates and coaches.
