Hearts Beat Kotoko To Move Joint Top

Hearts of Oak recorded a double over rivals Asante Kotoko at Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday to move joint top of the Glo Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win. Striker Samuel Affum converted a first half penalty to stay in second place behind new leaders AshantiGold. AshGold needed a late goal against Real Tamale United at the Len Clay to topple Aduana who began the day on top. The Miners have 38 points apiece with Hearts of Oak but stay on top on goal difference. Kessben FC's 1-0 win over Aduana at the Anane Boateng Park was a perfect departing gift for their youngster Bartholomew Yeboah who died after a league match last week. Great Olympics plummeting form continued at home in a 0-1 defeat to King Faisal at the El-Wak Stadium. Arsenals sneaked past Liberty Professionals with a 1-0 win at the Golden City Park thanks to a Salou Yakubu free-kick on the half hour mark.
