In-form Samuel Atta Kumi scored a hat trick to hand Bibiani Goldstars a resounding victory over Accra Lions to ensure them the Ghana Premier League top spot.
The Miners continued their impressive performance in the ongoing season after inflicting a painful 3-0 home loss on Accra Lions at the WAFA Park in Sogakope.
The home side looked dangerous in the early minutes as Ahmed Yousif found the back of the net in the 10th minute but was flagged offside by the referees.
After the early threat from Accra Lions, the visitors took over possession to register the opener through hat trick hero Samuel Atta Kumi in the 15th minute of the game.
Atta Kumi deepened the woes of Accra Lions on the stroke of halftime when he pounced on a pass from Charles Kamara Gyamfi to double the lead for Bibiani Goldstars.
The first half of the game ended in a 2-0 victory for Bibiani Goldstars at the WAFA Park in Sogakope.
Former Karela United striker Samuel Atta Kumi climaxed his day with a maiden hat trick when he scored the third, just a minute after the break.
Accra Lions coach James Francis had to re-strategize after conceding the third by introducing David Akintunde and two new signings, namely Derrick Owusu and Ernest Agyensem.
Despite the introduction of the trio, Bibiani Goldstars kept piling pressure on the hosts with the hopes of getting more goals before the final whistle.
The Bibiani-based club could have extended their lead to four in the dying embers, but a late opportunity was blasted wide by Ofori.
The big victory at WAFA Park leaves Goldstars at the top spot with 33 points, while Accra Lions lie at the bottom of the log with just 13 points after match week 17.
