Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku has earned a place in the English Championship Team of the Week following his dazzling display against Blackburn Rovers. 

The Swansea City star scored and delivered an assist to inspire the Welsh side to a 4-0 victory at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Opoku lasted the entire duration of the matchday 13 encounter as Swansea continued their pursuit of Premier League promotion.

The winger recorded six touches inside the box and attempting four shots, making him a real threat for the visitors.

Opoku also completed three successful dribbles, demonstrating his ability to take on defenders and create openings in the final third.

He also contributed defensively, making four tackles, one clearance and one interception.

The Ghanaian is joined by teammate and Swansea right-back Filip Lissah in the Team of the Week.

Also in the best eleven of the week are Wolverhampton Wanderers duo Jose Sa and Hugo Bueno, Rarmani Edmonds-Green (Leyton Orient), and Huddersfield Town’s Joe Low.

Dylan Jones of Tranmere, Sebastien Belhater of Middlesborough, Grimsby’s Geza Turi, Jack McGlynn of Stoke City and Aaron Collins of MK Dons complete the team of the week.

Opoku has been a key figure at Swansea since joining the club in the summer transfer window from Zulte Waregem. The former Ghana U20 forward has netted three goals in 12 matches for the Swans.
