Ghanaian forward Kwame Poku played a pivotal role in Peterborough United’s dominant 5-1 victory over Blackpool in an English League One clash on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poku was instrumental in two of the goals that helped secure the win. The home side took an early lead just eight minutes into the game when Malik Mothersille found the net after a pass from Joel Randall. The duo combined again just nine minutes later, with Randall scoring from a Mothersille assist to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blackpool briefly cut the deficit, but Peterborough quickly responded. In the 28th minute, Poku netted his seventh goal of the season, restoring the two-goal cushion with a swift strike that made it 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After halftime, Peterborough extended their lead with an own goal from Blackpool. Poku then turned provider, assisting Randall for his second goal of the night to seal the emphatic 5-1 scoreline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this performance, the 23-year-old has now been directly involved in 11 goals in 13 league appearances this season, just seven shy of his total tally from last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
