Following their emphatic statement in Kumasi at the Baba Yara stadium fans were hoping a high spirited performance will follow but it things never turned up that way with a 0-0 draw to Brekum Chelsea in Accra.

The home side created chances through Martin Karikari, Mawuli Wayo, and Baba Adamu but still couldn’t break through, while Brekum Chelsea held firm for a point that lifted them to fourteenth (14th position)  on 27 points; Hearts dropped to third (3rd) on 40, trailing leaders Medeama SC by five.

Berekum Chelsea defender Mohammed Seidu produced a vital goal-line clearance to prevent the Phobians from taking the lead.

Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi also impressed, producing a superb reflex save to deny Mawuli Wayo as Hearts pressed for the breakthrough.

 

Despite Hearts showing more attacking purpose and registering more shots on target, the half ended with neither side able to convert their chances.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Hearts of Oak dominating possession and pushing forward in search of a winner.

Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko ended their winless run with a 2-0 win over Young Apostles with goals from Johnson Oppong Owusu and Samba O’Neil moving them to fourth (4th position) on 38 points.

The reflexes from Ghana Black Stars goalie Benjamin Asare stole the show and also the major highlight of the game, though some called it a routine stop for the Black Stars keeper.

Hearts of Oak will now shift focus to their upcoming fixture against Heart of Lions, while Berekum Chelsea prepares for a crucial clash against Karela United.

Both sides will be hoping to improve their finishing and convert promising performances into vital points as the league season reaches a decisive stage.

Arsenal have surged to the top of the Premier League table with a commanding nine-point lead over Manchester City following their recent results.

The Gunners secured a solid 2-0 home victory against Everton, with late drama including a breakthrough from substitute Viktor Gyökeres (who tapped in after a cross from young talent Max Dowman, making an impact). This win, combined with Manchester City’s frustrating 1-1 draw away at West Ham United which propelled Arsenal nine(9) points clear at the summit

As of the latest updates (around mid-March 2026 in the 2025/26 season), Arsenal sit on around 70 points (having played one more game), while City are on 61 points (with a game in hand).

PL Table as at March 14

This marks a significant gap with only about 7 matches remaining for Arsenal—fans are buzzing that the title race could be slipping away from Pep Guardiola’s side!

Mikel Arteta has downplayed the lead in past similar situations (like earlier in the season when it hit nine points after a win over Sunderland), saying it means “nothing” and the focus remains on each game. But with strong form, key contributions from players like Gyökeres, and City’s recent stumbles (including prior draws/losses of points), Arsenal are in pole position for their first Premier League title since the Invincibles era in 2003/04.

He posted a message wishing his mum, Carmen Larbalestier, his stepmum, and all mothers a happy Mother’s Day, emphasizing how their love and support have shaped him.

Happy Mother’s day to my mum, stepmum and all of the amazing mothers out there

In his words (shared via Instagram):
“Wishing my mum, my stepmum and all mothers out there a happy Mother’s Day. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if not for the love and support of these two women. I’m blessed to have my mum with me here in China and my stepmum cheering for me back at home. They’ve been selflessly devoted to nurturing and caring for me and have been my home, my team and my lights in my darkest times. I live every day to make them proud. Love you both, enjoy your day 💐”

This comes during a special time for the family, as Carmen joined Lewis in China ahead of the race. He arrived early after the Australian Grand Prix, flying with her to Shanghai before heading to explore stunning areas like Jiuzhaigou National Forest (with its mountains and blue lagoons), Tibetan villages, and other cultural sites. They even went horse riding together in the region.

The weekend featured touching moments, including a wholesome hug between Lewis and his mum right after he qualified P3 for the Chinese GP—capturing that mother-son bond amid the high-pressure F1 environment.

It’s a sweet reminder of family support, especially with Mother’s Day timing aligning perfectly with the Shanghai race weekend. Fans are loving these genuine glimpses.

André Dede Ayew’s recent trademark header goal has reignited intense debate in Ghana about whether the 36-year-old former Black Stars captain should be recalled for the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad. The incident stems from a match on March 8, 2026, where Ayew scored his first goal for NAC Breda in the Eredivisie. https://youtube.com/shorts/qC3c-dj0f3k?si=hU1CxQqynjFurEtF
In a thrilling 3-3 draw against Feyenoord, he rose highest to powerfully head in a cross from Lewis Holtby, putting NAC Breda 3-2 ahead at halftime. This was his debut goal after joining the Dutch club on a free transfer in the January 2026 window, ending a 372-day goal drought.
The goal described as a “powerful header” and “trademark” aerial finish has sparked widespread discussion on social media, in Ghanaian sports outlets, and among pundits, as it highlights Ayew’s ongoing form and leadership qualities amid Ghana’s preparations for the expanded 2026 World Cup (co-hosted by USA, Canada, and Mexico).
    • Andrew Dede Ayew played a key role in the high-scoring game, with fellow Ghanaian Kamal Sowah also involved (drawing level earlier). The header demonstrated his enduring aerial threat despite his age.
    • After a challenging period (limited minutes and no goals prior), this milestone has boosted his confidence and visibility. Ayew has not ruled out a national team return, and his resurgence is seen as timely with World Cup qualification progressing (Ghana in strong contention under coach Otto Addo).

This echoes broader Ghana football discussions on balancing veterans with emerging stars, especially after recent challenges like missing AFCON 2025. Ayew’s header isn’t just a club milestone—it’s fuel for a national conversation on legacy in the lead-up to the 2026 World cup.
