After a record-equalling Ghana Premier League top scorer feat at the end of the 2021/22 season, AshantiGold star player Yaw Annor says it “feels great” to share the accolade with a legend.
On the final day of the campaign, the 25-year-old winger bagged a brace against Bibiani GoldStars to take his tally to 22 goals in 30 games, thereby usurping Asante Kotoko’s Franck Thierry Etouga Mbella who had led the race with 21.

Annor’s new feat of 22 goals matches that which has been long-held by three-time goal king Ishmael Addo for Hearts of Oak since the 2001 GPL.
“Equaling Ishmael Addo’s long-standing record feels great. I’m super excited.
“After the game, all my teammates and coaches were happy.
“Ishmael Addo’s record stood for long and I’m glad I managed to equal it this season,” he said in an interview with Wontumi FM.
