Accra Hearts of Oak put behind them their technical problems to trek courageously to the Berekum Golden City Park to inflict a painful 1-0 defeat on Arsenal in their 17th week Glo Premier League clash yesterday.
By courtesy of a low cross from veteran Hearts winger, Douglas Nkrumah from the left, returnee striker Mahatma Otoo made no mistake to hit the back of the net for the Phobians on the 71st minute to the disbelief of the home fans.
Hearts never looked back after the goal, while Arsenal, who had the better part of the second half after a balanced first half, tried to contain the visitors’ onslaughts but fate befell midfielder Osei Bonsu as Ho-based class one referee, Solomon Modey, showed him the red card for a savage tackle on Mahatma Otoo.
The referee’s decision attracted vehement protests from Arsenal players who charged on him, but security men managed to restore sanity for play to continue.
