The Celtic winger scored an excellent brace in helping the Hoops reach the League Cup final.
Mohamed Elyounoussi has admitted to Celtic’s official website that he was disappointed not to get a hat-trick on Saturday.
Neil Lennon’s side romped into the final of the League Cup by thumping Hibernian 5-2 at Hampden Park yesterday.
Elyounoussi, on a season-long loan from Southampton, played a huge role in the win by scoring two of Celtic’s five goals.
The Norway international very nearly took the match ball home with him after seeing another effort cannon off the post.
And the Saints winger admits that he’s frustrated that he didn’t mark the occasion with a hat-trick.
He told Celtic’s official website: “We played well and are in the final so I’m really pleased. “I’m more frustrated that I didn’t score more. I almost scored a hat-trick but it came off the post. I’m little bit frustrated by that but everyone was excellent today.”
Treble or not, it was a brilliant display from Elyounoussi and one that will only make Celtic fans desperate to keep him.
Things hadn’t gone to plan for him in the Premier League following a £16 million switch [BBC Sport] in the summer of 2018.
But things are definitely going well for him in Glasgow and no doubt the Hoops faithful will want him back in the long term.
