Iheanacho comes good for Celtic in Europa League draw against Crvena Zvezda

Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, has come good again as he opened the scoring for Celtic in their opening Europa League fixture against Crvena Zvezda which ended i1-1 on Wednesday night

For Celtic, it was Iheanacho who showed his increasing relevance, scoring the visitors’ goal ten minutes after coming off the bench.

Daizen Maeda was replaced at halftime by Iheanacho, and the change paid off. Benjamin Nygren threaded an accurate pass into Iheanacho’s path in the 55th minute; Iheanacho’s first touch was sharp, and his side-footed finish into the top corner left the goalkeeper helpless.

Crvena Zvezda responded in the 65th minute when Marko Arnautović headed home from a well-worked corner after defensive lapses by Celtic.
