Forward Albert Yeboah netted twice to help Legon Cities beat Hearts of Oak 2-0 in a week 27 fixture of the Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians recovered from three defeats on the trot to ease past Karela United in their previous encounter and were hoping to rack up a couple of wins on the spin.

However, Yeboah's strike in the 54th minute which was not dealt with cleanly by goalkeeper Richard Attah put Hearts behind in the contest.

11 minutes later, Yeboah scored from a header to double the lead of the Royals.

The home side held on firmly to secure three points and now sit behind Hearts on the table.

Meanwhile, the defeat for Hearts keeps them temporarily in tenth with 35 points.
