Ghana Premier League - Statistical Review Of Week 12

The 12th Week of Ghana Premier League was full of shocks and surprises aplenty as AshGold's lead at the top seems to be wearing off steadily whilst Isaac Oduro breached Inter Allies's immaculate home record but was not enough to end their unbeaten home run. Meanwhile Ahmed Toure continued his goalscoring streak as well as Richard Arhin keeping things intact for Aduana Stars. In other news Daniel Egyin was at the receiving end of perhaps the weirdest record this season.
