English-born Ghanaian defender, Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu, was instrumental in Fleetwood Town’s 2-0 win over Northampton Town in League One on Saturday afternoon.
Sarpong-Wiredu, who started the game at the Highbury Stadium, played a crucial role in the team’s victory, providing an assist for Fleetwood Town’s second goal.
The head-to-head record between the two teams before the game stood at 5 wins for Fleetwood Town, 4 wins for Northampton Town, and 2 draws. The deadlock was broken in the 5th minute when Promise Omochere scored a right-footed shot from the center of the box, assisted by Bosun Lawal with a cross.
The second goal came in the 30th minute, with Bosun Lawal scoring a left-footed shot from the left side of the box, assisted by Sarpong-Wiredu with a through ball.
