Emmanuel Boateng eyes more goals after ending 491 minutes goal drought

Levante striker Emmanuel Boateng says he expects to score more goals after breaking his goal scoring drought in the La Liga.

Boateng scored his first goal after a run of ten games in the Spanish topflight without finding the back of the net. The 22 year old registered his first goal for Levante this season in the 2-2 draw against Huesca last Sunday.

Ahead of their home game against Athletico Bilbao, the Ghana international has promised to score a lot of goals in the season.

"I'm very happy, I always ask God to score a goal and I scored my first goal of the season last weekend, I think we're going to do a lot this year, yes," the Ghanaian striker said in a television interview.

Manager Paco Lopez seems to have regained confidence in the young Ghanaian forward who stole the headlines in Spain last season after scoring a hat-trick against Barcelona to end the Catalans unbeaten run.

Emmanuel Boateng did not start the first two games of the season due to injury and struggled a bit after making a return.

The former Moreirense forward has to compete with Roger Marti who is Levante’s leading scorer and manager Paco Lopez’s first choice forward.
