Despite the defeat, Young Apostles were all over social media following Prempeh's acrobatic goal.
In a video shared on social media, the striker sensationally met a cross from the right at the edge of the box, hitting it acrobatically in the air.
The victory was Hearts of Oak's second of the season after a difficult start to the campaign.
Meanwhile, Young Apostles, a newly-promoted side in the Ghana Premier League, are 16th on the table after a win in six matches.
Hearts secure morale-boosting win
The Ghanaian giants have come under heavy criticisms following a poor start to the season despite augmenting their squad in the transfer window.
Having lost their opening two games of the campaign, the Phobians have been on a run of four matches without defeat, with two draws and two wins, per Footy Stats.
Coach Aboubakar Ouattara has been calling for patience from fans of the club as he turns around the tides, with the former Ghana champions eyeing the title this season.
The victory in Wenchi is expected to lift the club's confidence ahead of their game against Dreams FC.
