Recalled forward Kyogo Furuhashi’s stellar performance propels Celtic to the summit of the Premiership table with a convincing 3-1 win over St Johnstone, marked by goals, controversies, and late drama.
Furuhashi’s Impact and Celtic’s Dominance
Kyogo Furuhashi’s return to the starting lineup proves decisive as he scores one and assists another, showcasing Celtic’s dominance despite facing a resilient St Johnstone side at Celtic Park.
A Tale of Goals and VAR Intrigue
Goals from Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, and James Forrest highlight Celtic’s attacking prowess, yet the match is marred by VAR controversies, with three goals disallowed for offside, adding to the drama.
Brendan Rodgers’ Satisfaction and Tactical Brilliance
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers finds solace in his team’s tempo and creativity, as Furuhashi’s inclusion and tactical adjustments contribute to Celtic’s commanding performance against St Johnstone.
St Johnstone’s Resistance and Late Consolation
While St Johnstone puts up a spirited fight, including a late goal from substitute Connor Smith, Celtic’s relentless pressure and clinical finishing ultimately secure the victory, though they fall short of boosting their goal difference.
Looking Ahead in the Premiership Race
With Rangers yet to play, Celtic’s time at the top of the table may be short-lived, but their convincing win sends a message to their rivals as the title race intensifies in the Scottish Premiership.
