“Hot akara” – What Ndidi, Osimhen, Awoniyi, others said about Kelechi Iheanacho’s recent goal run

Super Eagles stars Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Osimhen, and Taiwo Awoniyi took to social media to celebrate teammate Kelechi Iheanacho following his recent impressive run of form, Soccernet.ng reports.

​Iheanacho has been in fine form for Celtic in recent weeks. He has overcome an injury-ridden campaign to become one of the most important players at the club.

​In his last seven games, Iheanacho has registered five goals, most of which have been clutch finishes.

In fact, in Celtic's recent match against Motherwell at Fir Park, the Super Eagles star came off the bench to score a dramatic 99th-minute match-winner.

​That goal was vital, as it kept Celtic’s Scottish Premiership title hopes alive; consequently, he has earned significant praise for his calmness and composure despite the high-pressure situation.

​Next up for Iheanacho and his Celtic side is a crucial fixture against Hearts at Celtic Park on May 16. That game will likely decide the winner of the Scottish Premiership, as just one point separates the two sides.
