Kelechi Iheanacho produced another decisive performance for Bursaspor, scoring and providing an assist in their 2-1 comeback victory over Kayserispor in the Trendyol 1. Lig on Saturday.

Kayserispor took control of the contest just after the half-hour mark when Florent Hasani converted from the penalty spot.

Bursaspor entered the break trailing by a goal but responded strongly after half-time.

Iheanacho restored parity two minutes before the hour mark, calmly converting a penalty to bring his side back into the contest.

The Nigeria international then turned provider as Bursaspor completed the comeback with 13 minutes remaining.

Iheanacho created the opportunity for Alperen Babacan, who found the net to give the visitors a 2-1 advantage.

Kayserispor were unable to find a second equaliser as Bursaspor held on to secure an important away victory.

Iheanacho was withdrawn three minutes before full-time, with Lewis Baker replacing him as Bursaspor managed the closing stages.

The performance continues an impressive individual run for the 29-year-old since joining the Turkish club.

Iheanacho has now contributed four goals and two assists in four league appearances for Bursaspor this season.

His latest performance means he has been directly involved in six goals during that run, making him one of the key attacking figures in the club’s early-season campaign.
