Hearts have been a difficult proposition against the Celts in the previous season and the latest encounter in Tynecastle was a testimony to it.
However, Celtic were more rampant in the current match winning 4-1 against Hearts, they moved three points ahead on the log after Aberdeen’s loss to St Mirren.
The first 45 minutes were equally testing for both teams, but the second half saw the Scottish giants get their act together, as Kyogo Furuhashi and the relentless Nicolas Kuhn scored in five minutes.
Thanks to the lead the manager Rodgers used the moment to make changes on the pitch such as the introduction of winger Hyunjun Yang. When Adam Idah scored two goals, Yang began the move after kick-off and was challenged by James Penrice which caused him to forcefully crash into the advertising boards.
Dismissing the event, Chris Sutton condemned the home fans for cheering their man while the Chinese striker Yang was groaning: What is wrong with it? Sutton said it was ‘harsh’ and focused on Yang’s exhaustion.
At the same time, Nicolas Kuhn maintain a fantastic amplitude of goals scoring by successfully shooting onto the top right corner of the adversary’s net and by proving how confident and high effective he is as a sportsman during key moments of the match. He was instrumental to the team [] and received the highest rating of 8.22 from WhoScored.com.
