Iheanacho Scores 12th Goal, Wins Praise for Heartwarming Gesture at Bursaspor

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has earned praise from Bursaspor supporters after acknowledging a club staff member during his goal celebration in Sunday’s match against Mardin 1969 Spor.

The Nigerian striker scored his 12th goal of the season, extending his scoring run to nine consecutive league matches for the Turkish club.

According to Bursasporx, Iheanacho’s gesture towards the team’s chef after finding the net caught the attention of fans, who commended the forward for recognising a member of the club’s backroom staff.

The moment stood out despite Bursaspor’s disappointing result, as Zdravko Dimitrov scored a late goal to secure victory for Mardin 1969 Spor.

Iheanacho’s latest strike continues his impressive run in front of goal, with the former Leicester City forward maintaining consistency throughout his recent league appearances.

The 29-year-old has also continued to feature for Nigeria’s national team. He scored for the Super Eagles in their recent international friendly against Russia.

His performances at club level will be closely watched as he seeks to maintain his scoring form and strengthen his standing ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming international fixtures.
