SPL: Super Eagles Forward On Target In Celtic Win

Sampson Adedeji

Newly recruited Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho continued his impressive performance for Scottish champions Celtic on Sunday afternoon, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Hoops secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Motherwell at Celtic Park, with the Nigerian international playing a key role in the win.

Iheanacho opened the scoring for Brendan Rodgers’ side in the 27th minute after converting from the penalty spot, giving Celtic an early advantage.

The visitors, however, fought back to level the score before halftime, but late goals from O’Riley and Maeda ensured Celtic claimed all three points despite Motherwell’s late push.

The former Leicester City striker, who joined Celtic this summer after leaving Sevilla as a free agent, has now scored three goals since his arrival in Glasgow.
