Michael Baidoo scores and assists as Elfsborg thrash AIK

Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo was heavily involved in the thick of things for IF Elfsborg in their league win on Wednesday afternoon.

Baidoo scored one and provided an assist as his side beat AIK 6-1 at home.

The midfielder, who had been without a goal involvement in his last three games before the AIK clash, was involved immediately as he set up Jalal Abdulai for the opening after after just six minutes.

12 minutes later, Abdulai scored his second of the game to double his side's lead.

Ahmed Qasem netted on the stroke of halftime to make it 3-0.

After the recess, Elfsborg continued their dominance in the game. Baidoo got his goal six minutes into the second half, his third goal of the campaign.

Qasem grabbed a brace in the 60th minute before AIK scored a consolation goal 13 minutes later.

The five-goal lead was restored late in the game when Qasem scored his third from the penalty spot.

Baidoo has directly contributed to five goals in eight appearances this season, scoring three and setting up two others.

Despite signing a contract extension earlier this year, the Ghanaian has been linked with a move away from the club with Leicester City and a host of other clubs keeping tabs on him.
