Ernest Agyiri wins Premium Liiga Goal of the Season
Ghana international, Ernest Agyiri, won the Goal of the Season award at the end of the 2022 Estonian Premium Liiga season.
The strike which was crowned the Goal of the Season came during Levadia Tallinn’s 1-1 draw against league winners Flora Tallinn back in May.
The 24-year-old received a pass from his teammate before sending in a brilliant strike from his own half to equalise Levadia at home after Flora had taken a first-half lead in the Tallinn derby.
The goal saw Agyiri salvage a point for his team who were also a man down while going on to win the Man of the Match at the end of the game.
The midfielder was awarded during the league’s end-of-the-season award over the weekend, with the Ghanaian taking home the Goal of the Season accolade.
Agyiri scored three goals and provided three assists in 22 games as Levadia finished second on the Premium Liiga table. He was also directly involved in three goals during the club’s UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
