In a tense contest that showcased Celtic emerged triumphant over Aberdeen with a 3-1 scoreline. Sky Sports pundit, Chris Sutton, took to Twitter to share his insights on the game, praising both teams for the spectacle they presented.
Liel Abada, Kyogo, and Matt O’Riley were the scorers who ensured Celtic’s victory. Yet, the game was more than just about the goals, as both teams played their part in a tight game.
Sutton’s tweet captured the essence of the encounter: “Great advert for the Scottish game that 👏👏 Aberdeen were brave and got after Celtic but Celtic devastating in the final third.” This was a clear nod to Aberdeen’s tenacity throughout the game. The Dons pressing in the second half cause Celtic all sorts of issues.
One of the game’s standout moments was the involvement of Yang, who showcased his exceptional skill set, with Sutton noting: “Yang [had] great feet for the O’Riley goal.” The substitute showed another glimpse of what he could do and you’d be forgiven if Jota hadn’t left with those quick feet on show.
Despite the win, Sutton believes Celtic could do with some reinforcement. He revealed: “Celtic need a couple of bodies in quickly imo though…” suggesting that bolstering their squad could be key for their season ambitions.
But among all the players, Anthony Ralston’s dedication caught the Sutton’s eye, as he warmly added: “Fair play to Anthony Ralston, I love his commitment!” Ralston’s tireless efforts made sure Celtic stayed solid at the back. A marked improvement from last week against Ross County.
