GPL MD17: Diawisie Taylor emerges FMIG Player of the Week

In-form Karela United striker Diawisie Taylor powered his side to a 2-1 win over Aduana Stars on Saturday with a brace to emerge the FMIG Player of the Week.

The in-form striker took his goal tally to 12 in 17 games as the first round of the Ghana Premier League folded up for his side on Saturday.

Aduana Stars opened the scoring through Bright Adjei just seven minutes into the game but the home side come from behind to win 2-1 following an inspirational performance from Taylor.

Taylor equalized after 42 minutes to register his 11^th goal of the season before the break.

Back from recess, Karela relentlessly pushed forward for the second goal as they searched for another home win.

Aduana Stars, playing under Coach Asare a Bediako for the first time held on tightly at the back. However their resolve will be broken with barely minutes to end the game.

Diawisie Taylor pounced again and netted the third goal of the game. It was his side’s second and his personal brace too.

Karela strolled to a precious 2-1 win from there as they kept their title quest well on course.

They now have 31 points, a point away from second placed Great Olympics who beat Dreams FC by a loan goal at the Theatre of Dreams.

The result also serves as double joy for Diawisie Taylor whose two goals sees him establish a 2 goal lead over his closest contender for the GPL top scorer award. The crafty attacker now has 12 goals this season.
