Goalkeeper Daniel Agyei came off the bench to score but it came little too late to prevent Liberty Professionals from losing the Accra derby to Hearts of Oak.

The Phobians managed a 2-1 win over Liberty on Saturday, and extend their run of two consecutive wins, all by the same margin as they move up the table.

New coach Nebojsa Vucicevic would certainly breathe easy after Douglas Nkrumah gave Hearts a 1-0 lead by halftime from the spot.

Midfielder Esme Mends increased the tally to 2-0 in the second half before substitute goalkeeper Agyei got the consolation for Liberty from a spot kick late on in the game.
