Veteran Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson returned to action with fantastic saves for his club Accra Great Olympics  on Sunday, just a day after suffering a black-out in the Stephen Appiah testimonial.

The former Blackpool goalkeeper suffered a scare on Saturday during the Stephen Appiah testimonial when he was taken off after just five minutes into the game.

Medics spent several minutes to revive the goalkeeper after collapsing when he clashed with striker Majeed Waris.

The way he fell to the ground sparked fears of a serious injury and was replaced by goalkeeper Sammy Adjei.

However, the dedicated Kingston returned to action for his club Olympics on Sunday and helped them to a 1-0 victory over Liberty Professionals in the Ghana top-flight.

Superb goalkeeping by veteran Richard Kingson, particularly in the first half, and an early volley by Godwin Attram put the brakes on the forward match of Liberty Professionals as the Wonder Club secured a 1-0 win in their First Capital Plus Premier League match at the Accra Sports Stadium yesterday.

In a match which the bookmakers tipped Liberty to win hands down, considering their recent form and the manner they hammered Kotoko 3-1 at Dansoman last week, it took Olympics just eight minutes to silence them.
