Chris Sutton has praised former Celtic striker Teemu Pukki on Twitter following his heroics for Norwich City against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.

Pukki scored the winner for Norwich in the third minute of injury time in their Championship game against Bolton at Carrow Road.

The 3-2 victory for the Canaries means that they remain a point clear of second-placed Leeds United at the top of the league table.

Former Norwich and Celtic striker Sutton has stated on Twitter that Pukki has been a great signing for the Canaries, admitting that he never thought that he would say that.

Celtic struggles

Pukki moved to Celtic from German club Schalke in the summer of 2013 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £3 million.

The 28-year-old Finland international striker struggled to make an impact at Celtic Park and joined Brondby in the summer of 2014 on a loan deal before making the move permanent in the summer of 2015.

According to Sky Sports, the striker scored nine goals in 37 appearances for Celtic.

Pukki has scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 18 Championship appearances for Norwich so far this season, according to WhoScored.
