Celtic top group after beating Cluj

Celtic celebrate scoring against CFR Cluj at Parkhead

Goals from Odsonne Edouard and Mohamed Elyounoussi saw Celtic ease to a 2-0 Europa League Group E win over Romanian side CFR Cluj.

Neil Lennon’s side took a deserved 20th-minute lead when Callum McGregor released Boli Bolingoli, whose cross was met by the head of Edouard.

And as the rain lashed down in the second period, James Forrest found Elyounoussi who fired into the bottom corner via a deflection to double the advantage.

With Lazio coming from behind at home to beat Rennes 2-1, Celtic’s win sees them move top of the group with four points ahead of a mouthwatering double-header with the Italian side.
