Ghana forward David Accam has been voted Major League Soccer Player for the Week after inspiring Philadelphia Union to a 3-0 win over Columbus Crew on Saturday.

The 28 year old scored a brace, which he dedicated to his father father as Union defeated the Gold and Blacks to record their first win of the season at the Talen Energy Stadium.

The striker beat stiff competition from Kenny Saief of FC Cincinnati, Los Angeles FC midfielder Walker Zimmerman and Orlando City’s Sacha Kljestan to win the award.

David Accam has stepped up his form in recent weeks and is knocking on the door of Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah ahead of AFCON 2019.
