Asante Kotoko forward, Steven Mukwala, says he is happy to have contributed to his side's victory over Hearts of Oak over the weekend.

Mukwala scored a brace against the Phobians in the 2-0 win on matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League as the Porcupine Warriors picked up all three points at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Despite their inconsistent form, the win means Kotoko have beaten Hearts in back-to-back games with the Uganda international four times against the Accra-based side.

"I'm very delighted and you know how it means winning at Baba Yara against the rivals Hearts of Oak. I'm really happy. I know the fans, players and the technical team are all happy," he said.

"That was a tactical approach. They were two players defending against me so I had to distance myself from them though they didn't know the position I was in.

"With the second goal, it was just an instinct. I saw him coming full out so I had to reduce my speed that's how I was able to score."

The win takes Kotoko to ninth on the league table with Hearts languishing in 15th position, two points above the relegation zone.
