Ghana wing-back Frank Acheampong hits DOUBLE to power Anderlecht to victory in Europa League

Ghana wing-half Frank Acheampong enhanced his scoring credibility by grabbing a brace for Anderlecht in their UEFA Europa League clash with Russian side Zenith St Petersburg on Thursday.

The 24-year-old raced the Royal Club into a 5th minute lead before doubling the advantage 26 minutes later at the Stade Constant Vandent Stock.

The winger's opener resulted from his quick reaction to dead-ball situation as he pounced on a loose ball to finish home.

The second arrived via established counter-attack display. He combined with his teammate Bruno who centered for him to smash home a sensational volley.

Acheampong is the only Ghanaian player who started the game as youngster Emmanuel Adjei-Sowah was left on the bench while French-born Dennis Appiah missed out of the squad.
