Nigeria striker Kelechi Iheanacho has shown no signs of slowing down after finding the back of the net again for Bursaspor on Monday, October 19.

The 30-year-old scored in his 11th consecutive game for the Turkish second-tier side as they beat Pendikspor 2-0 at the Atatürk Spor Kompleksi.

Bursaspor started the game on the front foot and were rewarded with an early goal in the 10th minute, courtesy of Halil Akbunar.

Iheanacho later doubled the lead for the home side in the 62nd minute after heading home a cross from Lincoln.

The former Leicester City forward has now registered 15 goals and four assists in 10 league appearances for the Green Crocodiles since joining the club in the summer.

Iheanacho joined Bursaspor as a free agent following the end of his loan spell with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

The former Sevilla man will look to maintain his momentum when Bursaspor face Keçiörengücü in their next league fixture on Sunday, October 25.
