Hearts of Oak head coach Frank Nuttall has reiterated that he is not under any pressure to deliver despite securing his first away win of the season over AshGold on Saturday.

A second half strike from Paul Acquah gave the Phobians their second win in succession after their mid-week lashing of Bechem United.

The win took the Phobians to 4th on the table and pegged on 18 points with rivals Asante Kotoko and Aduana Stars.

With the recent form of the club, many of the club’s fans believe Nuttal will be able to end their 9 years Premier League trophy-less run.

But the Scotsman says he is not under any pressure to win the league.

“No there is no pressure. What we have at Hearts of Oak are challenges. I have challenges as a coach and the players have challenges too,” he told the press after their win over The Miners.

“All we are doing is to overcome those challenges and that is what we are doing now,” he added.

The solitary win over The Miners is the second time the Phobians Have picked a win over the Yellow and Black t the Len Clay Stadium following their 2-1 win under Kenichi Yatsuhashi last season, a win the visitors registered in nine year.
