Decisive figure propels Celtic with clinical brace and constant threat | OneFootball

Yang Hyun-Jun levelled in the 38th minute with a crisp finish, setting Celtic on course for a 3-1 win over Motherwell.

He ghosted into the centre to guide a low strike into the bottom right, restoring parity with one touch and calm technique. The contest then tilted when Emmanuel Longelo was shown a red card (71.).

After VAR confirmed the spot kick, the Bhoys moved ahead from the spot (72.). He then slid a cut-back for Daizen Maeda that forced Calum Ward into a save (75.). Moments later, he thumped the ball into the roof of the net for his second (79.).

The Hoops' winger finished with two attempts, both on target, eight touches in the box and two key passes, marrying end product with steady link play in the final third.

His repeated bursts into central spaces and quick combinations pinned Motherwell's back line, ensuring Celtic controlled the decisive phases once the game opened up.

The Bhoys visit Dundee United next in the Premiership, while Motherwell host Hibernian.
