Ghana's Joseph Opoku set up an 89th-minute winner as Swansea City beat Millwall 1-0 to stay top of the Championship.
Joseph Opoku is making a big impression in Wales. The Ghanaian winger provided the decisive moment in Swansea City's 1-0 win at Millwall, whipping in a looping cross in the 89th minute that Brazilian substitute Ronald met with a first-time finish at The Den.
It looked like a goalless draw until Opoku's moment of quality. The 21-year-old picked out his man at the right time, and Swansea left London with all three points.
The match was held up for around eight minutes while allegations of racist chanting from a section of the crowd were investigated. The stoppage broke up the rhythm of an already tense contest, but Vitor Matos's side kept their focus and still found the winning goal.
It was Opoku's first assist since he arrived in the summer, and he has already shown he is more than a bit-part signing. He has scored against both Stoke City and Derby County, and now has two goals and one assist in eight Championship appearances.
The victory keeps Swansea at the top of the table as they build their early-season momentum, with Opoku emerging as a key part of their promotion push.
