Olympique Lyonnais' Ernest Nuamah impressed despite his side's 4-1 thumping at the hands of PSG, grabbing the consolation goal for Lyon
This weekend saw mixed fortunes for Ghanaian footballers across Europe’s top leagues. Here, we delve into their performances:
Premier League
- Thomas Partey (Arsenal):Â A late substitute for Arsenal in their 2-0 win over Wolves, Partey had minimal impact with just seven touches in his ten minutes on the pitch.
- Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth): Introduced in the 63rd minute with his side trailing, Semenyo couldn’t turn the tide. The forward managed two shots (one on target) but lacked cutting edge (xG: 0.12).
- Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace): A positive cameo from Ayew after coming on for goalscorer Michael Olise. He won four ground duels and made a tackle and interception in a dominant 5-2 win for Palace.
- Mohammed Kudus (West Ham): A rare off-day for Kudus as West Ham were hammered 5-2 by Crystal Palace. The midfielder struggled defensively, losing possession 14 times and winning just two duels.
La Liga
- Iñaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao): Despite scoring an early own goal, Williams put in a decent shift for Bilbao. The winger took four shots and made key defensive contributions.
- Abdul Mumin (Rayo Vallecano): A solid defensive display from Mumin helped Rayo Vallecano secure a 2-1 win. The centre-back made clearances, interceptions and showcased his passing range.
- Iddrisu Baba (AlmerÃa): An unused substitute for AlmerÃa in their 2-1 defeat to Villarreal.
Serie A
- Caleb Ekuban (Genoa): Despite his side losing 1-0, Ekuban put in a lively performance. The forward created a big chance and won his aerial duels.
- Ibrahim Sulemana (Cagliari): A composed display from Sulemana in midfield for Cagliari as they drew 2-2 with Juventus. The midfielder showcased his defensive solidity and wasn’t dribbled past.
- Alfred Duncan (Fiorentina): Duncan played a key role in Fiorentina’s 2-0 victory, winning duels and maintaining good passing accuracy.
Bundesliga
- Patric Pfeiffer (FC Augsburg): A disappointing cameo from Pfeiffer after coming on as a substitute. The defender struggled defensively and misplaced passes.
- Christopher Antwi-Adjei (VfL Bochum): Introduced in the second half, Antwi-Adjei saw yellow for a foul and lacked accuracy with his passing.
Ligue 1
