SINCLAIR SEALS GOLDEN NIGHT FOR CELTIC

-

CELTIC got their campaign up and running with a 3-0 win at Anderlecht. Leigh Griffiths’ seventh goal of the season and Patrick Roberts’ deflected strike put Celtic in control, before ex-Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair sealed a famous win with the last kick of the game. It was the Scots’ first away win in the group stages since 2012 at Spartak Moscow. ‘The overall performanc­e was absolutely outstandin­g,’ said Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. ‘You can see we’re growing at this level and the three goals were absolutely fantastic. The boys deserve a great amount of credit.’ In the other match in Group B, Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain leaves Celtic level with the German giants on three points. PSG ripped Bayern apart on the counter-attack, with Dani Alves, Edinson Cavani and Neymar on the scoresheet. In Manchester United’s group, 10-man Benfica crumbled 5-0 away at Basle.
