Celtic secured their first European away victory in over four years with a clinical 3-1 comeback win against Feyenoord in the Europa League. After Luke McCowan hit the crossbar early on, Feyenoord took the lead through Ayase Ueda.
However, Celtic responded through standout performer Reo Hatate. He set up Yang Hyun-Jun for a spectacular volleyed equalizer before scoring himself before halftime, punishing a goalkeeper error forced by Daizen Maeda’s pressure.
The hosts wasted chances, striking the woodwork, but substitute Benjamin Nygren sealed the vital points late on, converting Maeda’s pullback. This result moves Celtic to 17th in the table. Despite facing seven big chances and generating a low expected goals total, the Scottish side proved ruthless, netting three times from open play.
With Wilfried Nancy reportedly nearing the permanent manager job, this efficient performance marked a significant turnaround for a team that had previously struggled for goals in this competition.
