Iheanacho scores two goals as Bursaspor wins against Manisa

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is off to a great start at Bursaspor. He scored twice to help the Turkish club win 2-1 against Manisa at the Manisa 19 Mayıs Stadium on Monday evening.

Iheanacho has quickly made his mark since joining Bursaspor this summer. His two goals helped the Green Crocodiles secure all three points on the road.

Manisa took the lead in the 20th minute with a goal from Cheikne Sylla. This put the home team ahead, and Bursaspor had to fight back.

Iheanacho equalized just seven minutes later with a fantastic solo effort. He picked up the ball at the edge of the box, dribbled past several defenders, created space, and shot past goalkeeper Vedat Karakuş into the bottom corner.

As the match seemed to be heading for a draw, Iheanacho struck again in added time to clinch victory for Bursaspor. His second goal came after a mistake by Karakuş. Iheanacho reacted quickly to the loose ball and calmly slotted it into the net from close range.

This brace adds to Iheanacho's impressive scoring run this season. He has now scored in six straight league matches, netting against Bodrum FK, Igdir FK, Karagümrük, Kayserispor, Istanbulspor, and Manisa FK.

His latest performance brings his total to eight goals and two assists in just six matches this season. Since arriving at Bursaspor this summer, Iheanacho has quickly become a key player, with his goals proving crucial for the team.

The 2-1 win against Manisa marks another significant result for Bursaspor. But the main highlight is Iheanacho’s amazing goal-scoring consistency.

For a striker who has scored in every league match this season, Iheanacho's current form will draw attention. Bursaspor hopes he can keep it up as the season continues.
