Leigh Griffiths shows way as brilliant Celtic ease past sorry Anderlecht

Anderlecht 0 Celtic 3: Celtic got their Champions League campaign up and running with an outstanding 3-0 win over Anderlecht in Brussels last night.

Striker Leigh Griffiths lit up a dull first half at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium with a poacher’s goal in the 38th minute and five minutes after the break, Patrick Roberts’ drive took a deflection in off substitute Kara Mbodji.

Anderlecht’s interim boss Nicolas Frutos stood on the sidelines frustrated as Brendan Rodgers’ side withstood everything the Belgian champions could throw at them before Scott Sinclair scored a breakaway third in added time.
