Former Golden Eaglets forwards Kelechi Iheanacho and Stanley Iheanacho continued their fine starts to the new season after scoring for Bursaspor and FC Midtjylland, respectively this weekedn. In a Turkish First League clash on Saturday, Celtic old boy Kelechi netted the game-winning goal as Bursaspor earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Igdir FK in what was his home debut for the Green Crocodiles. The Super Eagles star joined Bursaspor last month, signing a three-year deal with the club following the expiration of his contract with Celtic. Sixteen minutes into the contest, Kelechi Iheanacho scored a rare headed goal after Juergen Elitim floated the ball into the box. The 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner has now scored in back-to-back games for his new employers, having opened his account in last weekend's season opener against Bodrum FK. Elsewhere, Stanley Iheanacho proved that his pre-season form was no fluke by finding the net for the second time in three days as FC Midtjylland and Lyngby BK shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in a Danish Superliga clash at the Lyngby Stadium. Following a goalless first half, Beni Djé released Iheanacho down the left, and the academy graduate capped the move with an excellent finish, smashing the ball high into the net beyond Lyngby goalkeeper Diego Kochen. Stanley Iheanacho opened his account for the season in Midtjylland's 3-2 win over Bohemians in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League third qualifying-round tie on August 13. Ifeanyi Emmanuel
