Frank Acheampong reflects on Europa League heroics

Ghana winger Frank Acheampong says scoring two goals to book Anderlecht's place in Europa league last 16 is the best moment in his career.

The 22-year-old struck twice in extra time to give Anderlecht a 2-1 win at Olympiakos.

The Belgian side led 1-0 after the first leg, but Olympiakos levelled the tie in the 29th-minute and there was no further scoring before Acheampong popped up to decide the contest in extra-time.

He beat goalkeeper Roberto from a tight angle two minutes before the turnaround, then finishing calmly seven minutes after.

Acheampong said: "Physically I was not fine. I even wanted to be substituted because I suffered from cramps. However, the coach left me on the pitch and I was mentally strong. I knew where that ball would fly when I went for the shot."

"The first goal was a goal of God.

"This is the best moment of my career so far. I am sure God still has a lot of great moments planned for us in the future."

Acheampong has been involved in seven goals this season as he continues to enjoy an impressive campaign.
