Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho continued his remarkable goalscoring run on Saturday, scoring twice as Bursaspor came from behind to defeat Batman Petrolspor 2-1.
Sports247 reports that the Nigerian striker once again proved to be the difference-maker, producing two decisive finishes to turn the game around and secure another important victory for his side.
Batman Petrolspor took the lead, but Bursaspor refused to panic, with Iheanacho stepping forward when his team needed him most.
The former Leicester City and Manchester City forward found the equaliser before completing the comeback with his second goal, sparking celebrations as Bursaspor maintained their impressive run.
The brace takes Iheanacho’s tally to 11 goals and two assists in just eight matches across all competitions this season.
Even more impressively, the Nigerian has now scored in eight consecutive matches for Bursaspor, underlining the extraordinary consistency he has displayed since finding his scoring touch.
Iheanacho’s current form represents a significant turnaround for a player who endured a difficult period before moving to Turkey. His confidence appears to be back, with the forward showing sharp movement, composure in front of goal and an increasing influence on his team’s attacking play.
Every appearance has seemingly brought another decisive contribution, and his latest brace once again demonstrated his ability to deliver when the pressure is highest.
For Bursaspor, Iheanacho’s goals have become a major source of momentum as they continue their campaign. For the Super Eagles, his resurgence provides another encouraging development ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming international engagements.
With 11 goals already on the board, Iheanacho will be looking to extend his remarkable scoring streak and maintain the form that has made him one of the most prolific Nigerian forwards in Europe at the moment.
