Iheanacho Hits 12 Consecutive Games as Bursaspor Climb to the Top

1 hour ago·1 min

Kelechi Iheanacho kept his extraordinary scoring run alive, netting in a 12th consecutive match as Bursaspor swept past Keçiörengücü 4-2 on Sunday to climb to the summit of the Turkish 1. Lig.

The Nigerian striker opened his account for the afternoon five minutes into the second half, grabbing Bursaspor's third goal of the afternoon. The result extended the Green Crocodiles' winning run to three straight league victories.

Fellow Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare also found the net in Europe this weekend, while defender Chidozie Awaziem added to the tally of Nigerian players on the scoresheet.

The performances underline the continued influence of Nigerian talent across European football, with Iheanacho's red-hot streak in particular drawing attention as Bursaspor push for promotion in Turkey's second tier.
