Everton loanee Henry Onyekuru helped Anderlecht to a 1-0 away win.
Henry Onyekuru made a positive impression as Anderlecht beat Celtic to record their first Champions League win of the season.
Onyekuru was signed by Everton in the summer from Eupen, amid competition from several clubs including Celtic.
Everton loaned Onyekuru out for work permit reasons, and he is picking up valuable experience at Anderlecht.
Oneyekuru’s Anderlecht earned a 1-0 win, although it was not enough to help them earn a Europa League spot.
The forward’s pace caused problems for Celtic all night, and although his one shot landed off target, he managed to create one goalscoring opportunity.
He was played on the left of a three man attack, where he has frequently been dangerous this season in the Jupiler Pro League.
Onyekuru has eight goals in 16 league games, 12 of which has been starts.
