AEK Athens’ improvement under new coach Gus Poyet continued with a 2-1 win at Panthrakikos (video) in the Greek championship on Sunday as they went fourth on a weekend overshadowed by violence that saw the Athens derby cancelled.
AEK’s win, thanks to goals from Swedish midfielder Jakob Johansson and Argentine forward Diego Buonanotte, with a penalty, means the Yellows have 20 points from 11 matches and are 10 points adrift of leaders Olympiakos.
